| On the third day, we went on a trip to Mariudo-no-taki. To get there, you first need to get up a really beautiful river by boat. | Another nice picture. Yes, so nice. |
 |
 |
| I believe you can see the waterfall in the background of this picture. | Finally, a landscape picture of Mariudo-no-taki. It surely was beautiful, though you do not get much of a view of it from the trail. |

 |
| Just a few minutes on foot from Mariudo-no-taki, we found another small waterfall. I was excited to find a couple of water holes that looked really tempting. | Yes, the water holes were so tempting that I actually decided to make a go for it. Tons of Japanese tourists arrived a bit afterwards, but no one decided to dip in. In Japan, the calendar is followed religiously, and a Naha cab driver told us that tourists from Tokyo will wear jackets in November regardless of the weather. As November is considered a "cold month", the actual temperature does not seem to be of any relevance. |
