Hira Taki is one of those places Map It Okinawa located for his adventurous followers.

He estimates the trek up to the falls takes about twenty minutes.

That's probably correct for someone who is in a hurry to get there.

What I like to do (ahem-ahum) is pretend I'm a senior citizen and take my time.

There are some beautiful colors and textures nature provides along the way.

Rocks, ferns, trees, deadwood, moss, and even muddy water, are all fair game, to me.

My camera and I consider those few seconds photo opportunities.

If you go on a trek to Hira Taki with me, plan on spending an hour traveling, each way !
