Akame Shijuhachitaki, located within Muro-Akame Aoyama Quasi-National Park in Nabari City, Mie Prefecture, is a beautiful valley lined with numerous waterfalls. True to its name, the approximately 4km stretch of waterfalls, large and small, each offers a unique and captivating sight. Well-maintained walking trails allow visitors to enjoy the tranquil murmur of the streams and the breathtaking scenery of the waterfalls interwoven with the lush natural surroundings up close. The scenery is particularly beautiful during the season of fresh greenery and the fiery autumn foliage, attracting many tourists.

Akame Shijuhachitaki is said to have once been a training ground for Iga-ryu ninjas. The rugged terrain of the valley and the sound of the waterfalls served as a hiding place for ninjas, making it a place where they devoted themselves to their training. Additionally, the Ninja Forest near Akame Falls offers ninja experiences, including throwing shuriken and learning the art of water spiders. Children and adults alike can enjoy a workout while learning about ninja history.

Akame Shijuhachi Falls is a place where you can experience the power and mysticism of nature. The sound of the water cascading from the falls and the clear forest air are soothing to visitors. The negative ions emitted by the falls are said to have a particularly relaxing effect.

The waterfall's clear, delicious taste has led to it being selected as one of Japan's 100 famous waters.

[Trivia]
The name Akame Shijuhachi Falls is said to come from the red eyes of Acala, the god of fire.

The area has also been selected as one of Japan's 100 Best Waterfalls and 100 Best Forests for Forest Bathing.

[Useful Tips]
The walking trail is approximately 4 km one way, and takes about 3 hours round trip. There are ups and downs and uneven terrain, so we recommend wearing comfortable shoes and clothing. Please check road conditions in advance to avoid snow and ice in winter.

The entrance fee has increased as a valley conservation fee, but as of 2024, parking, which previously required a fee, will be free.
