Down below Yaeyama Shrine the valley leads up to Yaeyama Waterfall, a popular area even though it is remote. There is a big car park and plenty of picnic tables. To get to the waterfall is a 1.5k walk up the valley.

  1. Loads of people post photos of the maples this time of year, but few capture the vivid colors like you do.

    The fourth photo from the top looks a little like a demented panda.
