Best accessible by car or bus. Also a popular pilgrimage if you are still fit enough. First stop is usually a parking lot on a slope opposite the falls from where you walk down many stairs of old stone slabs (handrail) to a platform below the falls. The torii of the small Shinto Shrine there is the standard fpto backdrop for the tour group. Tipp: at the rightmost window of the Shrine there is a little door. For a spiritual contribution of only ¥300 you can from there coimb up some additional steps to two platforms mich closer to the falls and with VERY few tourists (the groups don't have the time). As a matter of fact, for more than ten minutes we were there alone! After that you have to climb up back to the parking lot. From there it is strongly recommended to go up further to both the Buddhist Temple with its beautiful Pagoda and to another (bigger) Shinto Shrine. The view if the falls from there is piceless (If you cannot or do not want to climb up there, parking is available for ¥800)

This place encompases many to see in one day and they are all close together and can be done in 2 to 3 hours easily with good fitness. To get here from Kii-Katsuura Station just walk to the bus shelter and purchase a round ticket to Nachi-San and the bus will take you directly here. There are many nearby walking trails and other religious shrines that all share the backdrop of Nachi Falls. It is a photographers dream and is the place where you get all those stunning photos that make your friends at home jealous. It is also a peaceful and serene place. There are food stalls and souvenir shops also available.

If not coming from Wakayama, it can be a full day to get here, BUT worth it if (as I had) not much tourists and a beautiful day. Wear comfortable shoes if you want to see more than the view off the bus.

It sure gives you perspective on how high the falls are when you reach it foot; you have an opportunity to try some of the water.
