الشلالان اللذان زرناهما مذهلان. الأول، شلال هيرا، يبعد ربع ميل (٤٠٠ متر) فقط سيرًا على الأقدام من موقف السيارات. ومن هناك، نسير سيرًا على الأقدام إلى شلالات يوباي الأكثر دراماتيكية، حيث نشعر برذاذ الماء البارد. تبلغ مسافة المشي ذهابًا وإيابًا ميلًا واحدًا (١.٥ كم) فقط، لكن المسار صخري وشديد الانحدار، لذا فهو يتطلب درجة معقولة من اللياقة البدنية. ومن هناك، نتجه إلى شاطئ بحيرة بيوا حيث نركب قوارب الكاياك أو نسبح أو نستمتع بالشاطئ. هذه الجولة مثالية للمسافرين الذين يرغبون في الهروب من الحشود وحرارة كيوتو وأوساكا والاستمتاع بالطبيعة.
