This is the autumn foliage scenery of Komata Gorge in Kitaakita City, Akita Prefecture. Komata Gorge is dotted with more than 100 waterfalls, holes and abysses of various sizes from the primeval forest of the Noro River at the eastern foot of Mt. Moriyoshi, and is designated as a natural monument of scenic beauty by the prefecture. As it is called "the last unexplored area of Akita Prefecture", you can enjoy the powerful scenery.
It is common to get there by car to Taiping Lake and cross it by pleasure boat. After about 30 minutes on the Lake Taihei sightseeing boat, you will arrive at the Komata Gorge Pier, and from there, a 1.8 km mountain trail is maintained, and as you proceed along the mountain trail, you will gradually see Yokotaki Falls, Kumataki Falls, Gama Pool, Sankaku Falls, Anataki Falls, Kanotaki, Kanotaki, Kano Falls, Kano Weir, and Kanonanata Falls, and at the end of the road, a powerful "Sankai Falls" with a height of about 20 meters appears.
