Overview

Banjō Falls, cascading down 20 meters with a width of 5 meters, is a picturesque waterfall nestled in the heart of Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Located on the upper reaches of the Jizodo River, a tributary of the Kano River, Banjō Falls, also known as Banjo-no-taki, offers an immersive experience with nature.Visitors can descend close to the basin of the falls, feeling the refreshing spray and hearing the powerful roar of the water. A pavilion near the waterfall provides a resting spot to soak in the scenery. Downstream, the 'Thousand Year Tree,' an old zelkova, stands near a picnic area and a water area ideal for playing.Once known as Otaki and Urami no Taki, a trail that allowed visitors to see behind the waterfall is now closed due to rockslide risks. Despite reinforcement work, the falls remain a popular destination. The falls are a refreshing escape in summer. Hiking trails in the area lead to other small waterfalls, and canyoning is available upstream. The adjacent campsite makes it ideal for families and outdoor enthusiasts.Every August, the Banjo-no-Taki Festival brings the community together with music concerts and performances.
