Maryudo Falls

Maryudo Falls

Located along the Urauchi River in the center of Iriomote Island in Okinawa, Maryudo Falls descends a total of 52 feet (16 meters) over the course of three stages. The falls, the largest by total water volume of all the Okinawa falls, is accessible via a 30-minute walk along a jungle trail, passing the Kanpiuree Waterfall along the way. 
The trail leads to a viewing platform, where visitors get an unobstructed view of the waterfalls in their entirety, before continuing on for a close-up, mist-in-your-face view of the cascading water.

Practical Info

The trek to Maryudo Falls begins from Gunkan-iwa Rock, a stop on practically every Urauchi River cruise.
