The roughly 20 m cascade tumbles into a deep, large pool whose emerald-green colour changes from day to day. Its vivid water and powerful flow make this one of Osugidani’s most striking falls.
From the Osugidani trailhead, Dodon is the farthest waterfall along the gorge route. Two suspension bridges lead to it; beyond the falls, the path leaves the riverside and climbs toward the ridge.
The surrounding Ōsugidani region receives about 4,000–6,000 mm of rain a year. Its varied rocks wear away at different rates under all that water, helping shape the gorge’s cliffs, pools and waterfalls.
Water from the Dōkura-sawa and Nishinotani streams gathers in Ōsugidani, then flows as the Miyagawa River toward Ise Bay. Dodon Falls sits within this mountain-to-sea watershed.
