The Hayato Great Falls has a large volume of water, and drops in two separate plunges with a total height of 50 metres (160 ft).

The view is blocked by a great rock protruding from the middle of the upper fall, so that the whole waterfall can be seen clearly only from the bottom.

The Hayato Great Falls is located deep within Tanzawa Mountains, and is accessible only by a two-hour hike on poorly marked and maintained mountain trails from the nearest road.

Parts of the trail have things like beams you have to cross and a very poorly built wooden bridge.

It is highly advisable to wear hiking shoes and long sleeve pants as leeches most commonly go for you lower legs.
