Awamata Falls (Yoro Valley)

Taste the healing harmony of flowing water and autumn leaves at Awamata Falls

The autumn foliage of Awamata Falls is a representative autumn scene of Yoro Valley, where the gently flowing waterfall and the colored mountain surface harmonize beautifully. As you walk along the promenade along the waterfall, trees dyed in red and yellow create a gentle rhythm with the flowing water. The autumn leaves viewed while being enveloped by the sound of the waterfall are somewhat magical, and are so beautiful that you will want to stop every time you walk along the path. The course is relatively easy to walk, so you can enjoy the natural beauty of autumn without any difficulty. Awamata Falls is also a recommended spot for taking pictures, where you can enjoy the healing time created by the autumn leaves and the water scenery.

Key points for photography

The key to composition is to be conscious of the expression of the flowing waterfall and the arrangement of the colors of the autumn leaves. By capturing the waterfall from a slight angle and adding colored trees in the foreground and on the sides, you can express depth and a sense of the season at the same time. If you want to bring out the texture of the water, slightly lower the shutter speed to make it smoother. If you want to stop the flow, set the shutter speed faster to emphasize the white streaks. When the sun is shining through the trees, the colors of the leaves become three-dimensional, and when it is cloudy, the exposure is suppressed to create a moist atmosphere. By using the curves of the boardwalk and rocks in the frame, you can create a shot that enhances the quiet beauty of the valley that is typical of Awamata Falls.
