The Awamata Waterfall is considered the most famous in the Yoro Valley of Chiba’s Boso area, as noted by the local municipality. It flows gracefully down a 100-meter rock face, resembling a natural waterslide and creating a picturesque scene perfect for landscape photography.
At the base of the falls lies a shallow pond, extending into a stream that is popular during summer. Young families flock here, seeking a safe environment for children to play and interact with nature.
Promotional materials from the Chiba Prefectural Government, the Chiba Prefectural Tourism & Local Products Association, and Otaki Town encourage visits in autumn. As temperatures drop to a more comfortable level, the valley transforms into a vibrant tapestry of reds, oranges, and yellows, typically peaking from November to early December. Otaki Town proudly touts this foliage spectacle as one of Chiba Prefecture’s finest.
The Tourism Division of Otaki Town reminds visitors to pack out their trash and note that barbecues are prohibited in Yoro Valley and surrounding areas. Please follow the “Leave No Trace” principles and be mindful of your surroundings.
