Kegon Waterfalls, one of Japan's most celebrated waterfalls, is easily accessible by bus from Nikko Station, offering both a free upper viewing platform and a paid elevator (approx. 550-600 JPY per adult) for closer views at its base. While visitable solo or as part of a guided tour, independent exploration is straightforward due to excellent public transport. The falls are open year-round, showcasing breathtaking beauty in every season, with peak appeal during vibrant autumn foliage (late October/early November) and dramatic frozen landscapes in winter, though elevator hours might vary in extreme weather. A typical visit, including travel and viewing, lasts 1-2 hours. Situated near Lake Chuzenji, it's a must-see for its natural grandeur and can get busy during peak tourist seasons.
