Hidden blue gem for adventurous travelers

About a one-hour drive away from Kochi City you will find Nikobuchi, an amazingly clear plunge pool with a waterfall that is considered a sacred place by local people

Nikobuchi is located in the remote woods, deep down in a valley (don’t forget to wear sneakers and comfortable clothes! There are a lot of stairs). Since Nikobuchi is surrounded by valley slopes and trees, the sunshine comes in only at noon. And that is the moment when the water sparkles in the most beautiful Niyodo Blue color you can imagine

Breathing the fresh air of the forest, listening to the sound of the waterfall, enjoying the gleam of the magical blue water will ground you

*To respect the sacred space, please don't wade into the water at Nikobuchi
