You NEED to Do This Serene Waterfall Walk Near Osaka!
The Akame 48 Falls are a little over an hour outside Osaka and offer an incredible - and easy - day trip from one of Japan's biggest cities. This serene walk follows a spectacular gorge as it winds its way through a pristine natural environment, with waterfalls both large and small to enjoy all the way along.
This video is a guide to the trail and the history of the Akame 48. It also includes details on an optional two hour hike up and above the falls, as well as information on the Akame Falls Aquarium and on the "Ninja Training Experience" - which is perfect for families - on offer nearby. (This part of Japan is the historic home of the ninja, so there's a heap of ninja theming!)

There are few things more relaxing than spending time at a traditional bathhouse (onsen and sento alike) when you visit Japan.

    Can i brush my teeth in an Onsen? I usually brush my teeth when showering, so just feel weird if I were going to a Onsen and not brush my teeth.

    • @Kampai_Cam
      @Kampai_Cam 6 днів тому

      Generally speaking that's totally fine. Locals usually bring their own soap, shampoo, shaving razor, tooth brush etc to their neighbourhood sento, and more upmarket super sento often provide a lot of that stuff for people to use. As long as you do it at a washing station, or even over a sink in the changing room, you're all good.

    Hello from NYC! Thank you for such a detailed video, we'll be visiting Kyushu in 3 weeks and while making itinerary, i was debating if we should make a little detour at Mt. Aso (driving from Takachiho to Yufuin) but after watching your so elaborative and detailed video, it was no brainer, I added it to my excel sheet right away, so thank you! How long was the hike that can get us closest to the crater, were there any signs forbidding flying drones?

    • @Kampai_Cam
      @Kampai_Cam 2 місяці тому

      Glad you found the video helpful! The main active crater is extremely easy to get to, no hiking required. Not sure if you'll be able to park right next to it (the parking lots seemed to fill up a lot on the days I was there), but there's a bus stop close by. The hike up and above it can be done in a couple of hours but I'd extend it out to tour some of the other peaks too. Plenty of incredible views up there! As for drones I'd recommend against even trying - there's no way the Japanese are going to be cool with that. If you're out in the middle of nowhere with no one around that'd be okay but this is very much a major tourist attraction, so best to give it a miss. Have fun!

    • @drfaizan
      @drfaizan Місяць тому

But also for her to make the most of it like what you.were saying grumpy kids means everyone is not having a good time!!! Great video. How old was your child when you went to Japan and how did they do on the flights?

    • @Kampai_Cam
      @Kampai_Cam 2 місяці тому

      So sorry for the late reply. The first time we took my son he was five but we've subsequently gone when he was eight and nine. Each trip gets better and better! Mind you, he was fine the first time - it was just tiring for him and obviously we had to shape our itinerary accordingly, but it was still well worth it. And now he's fully into it so we can eat pretty much anything and do a wider range of stuff. No real issues with flights, thankfully. Have a great time when you wind up going!

    @noface17244 4 місяці тому

    Thank you so much, I was sad the only option would be a private onsen. I have a few questions though, how large were your tattoos? And did locals that used the onsen gave you dirty looks for it or where they ok with it?

    • @Kampai_Cam
      @Kampai_Cam 4 місяці тому

      I don't have any tattoos. I made these videos because most of my friends DO have tattoos so I wanted to be able to recommend some bathhouses for them, as almost all the places I usually go aren't tattoo-friendly. If a place is officially tattoo-friendly you definitely don't need to worry about it. The locals will be more likely to give you dirty looks for being loud or not following basic onsen rules. There were Japanese people with tattoos at quite a few of these places when I visited. And when I was at the one in Hakone (at the end of the vid) there were a couple of guys with absolutely gnarly full body tats and that was fine.

    • @Kampai_Cam
      @Kampai_Cam 4 місяці тому

      There ARE some places where if you have a small tattoo you can cover it with a patch and still use the public bathhouse, but I decided to only feature onsen that are completely tattoo-friendly 👍

  • @atziwy

    • @Kampai_Cam
      @Kampai_Cam 4 місяці тому

Also looks like you could get the train to Matsuyama then get a ferry to Hiroshima if that's where you're headed. You'd definitely be able to find out the best options from tourist info services in either Onomichi or Imabari.
