Hidden waterfalls in the mountains of Kagoshima Japan

Driving up into the mountains west of Kagoshima, searching for waterfalls and came across these two hidden gems. The road to the second one was pretty sketchy and was still covered with storm debris from the latest typhoon.
Chigo Falls had some amazing deep swimming holes, probably 3-5 meters deep. Faster moving water by the waterfall, but peaceful and gradual deepening by the upper falls. There was also a deep natural tub above the waterfall, just big enough to fit one person upright, about 5 feet deep. We will definitely be coming back to these places!
