Sendantodoro Falls (栴檀轟の滝) — waterfall in Kumamoto, Japan

Sendantodoro Falls

栴檀轟の滝
Top 100 Kyushu Kumamoto Prefecture ↓ 70 m

Sendantodoro Falls plunges 70 meters in Kakisako, in the Izumi district of Yatsushiro City, deep in Kumamoto Prefecture's mountainous interior. The surrounding area has been developed as Sendan Todoro Park, so the waterfall — unusually for the remoter entries on the Top 100 list — sits at the center of a maintained public space rather than at the end of an unmarked valley. Even its spelling is flexible: the name appears both in full kanji and in a mixed form, "Sendan Todoro no Taki," in local usage. The "todoro" element, shared with other Kyushu and Shikoku falls, evokes the thunder of the drop.

Visiting Sendantodoro Falls

The waterfall anchors Sendan Todoro Park, a developed park area in Kakisako, Izumi Town, Yatsushiro City, Kumamoto Prefecture. The sources confirm the park's existence but give no detail on trails or hours, so check specifics locally.
