Yamainudake
This mountain is located 997 meters above sea level in the center of Kamikatsu Town. It is one of the best places to see moss in Tokushima Prefecture from July to October. It is a natural sanctuary where deep green moss grows in clusters on the rocks, creating an almost mysterious atmosphere. It takes about an hour's walk from the nearest parking lot, and you should make sure to wear comfortable walking clothes as the paths are steep because they used to be training paths for mountain priests in the past.

Amagoi Falls
Amagoi Falls is 45 meters high and has a three-tiered waterfall. The water volume is high and never dries up throughout the year. The roar of the waterfall as it falls straight into the basin is spectacular and the fresh green leaves in early summer are especially beautiful. The area can also be enjoyed throughout the year, with the changing leaves in the fall and snow in the winter.
