The Japan Salamander Center has been transformed into the Akamedaki Aquarium, offering a unique glimpse into aquatic life. Visitors will explore the Akame Forty-Eight Waterfalls, located in a secluded valley shaped by clear waters and deep forests. The approximately 4km circular path connecting these waterfalls provides stunning views of seasonal scenery, from cherry blossoms to autumn leaves.
Enjoy hiking, strolling, or forest bathing as you discover not only the famous Akame Five Waterfalls but also other notable falls like Amefuretaki Falls and Reiheibashi Falls. The area is rich in natural aromatherapy and negative ions, enhancing your experience.
Explore over 50 animals from nine species at the Akamedaki Aquarium, including giant salamanders native to Akame. Learn about their unique appearance and ecology while enjoying the serene environment of the aquarium.
The entire valley trek is a round trip taking approximately 3 hours over a distance of 7-8km. For those planning to walk the full length, it's recommended to bring essentials like a backpack, drinks, and rain gear. Bamboo lanterns are available for night walks, lasting about 30 minutes to an hour.
Coin lockers are accessible at Akame Natural History Museum for storing large items such as strollers or suitcases (a fee applies). There is one toilet located near Senju Falls, approximately 15 minutes from the entrance. The valley's natural beauty peaks with autumn foliage around late October to early November.
The area is a Class 1 zone within a quasi-national park under the Natural Parks Act, prohibiting the collection or movement of plants and animals. Re-entry on the same day is permitted, ensuring visitors can fully appreciate this natural wonder while respecting its preservation.
