While the kids were watching a movie, I had some free time, so I went from Sannomiya to Nunobiki Falls via Kitanozaka. I don't usually have time to just stare at waterfalls, so it was very relaxing. Cicadas were chirping (lol). It's close to Shin-Kobe Station, but the stairs are tough! The negative ions felt great!

I've walked quite a distance to get here. I'm lightly sweating from the uphill climb. Along the way, I'm surrounded by greenery, and the scenery is beautiful and refreshing. I saw some impressive rocks and a waterfall. It was bigger than I imagined. The waterfall is beautiful. I feel soothed by the natural scenery.

神戸の布引の滝を訪れました。 雄滝の落差43メートルの水がまっすぐ落ちる姿は迫力があり、近くに立つと水音が体に響いてきます。写真を撮ろうとした瞬間、風で前髪がふわっと持っていかれて思わず笑ってしまいましたが、それも含めて自然の力を感じられる場所でした。周囲の岩肌や緑がとてもきれいで、布引渓谷らしい静かな空気が心地よかったです。都会のすぐそばとは思えない、素敵な滝でした。
