- INFO
- Parking is available just before the stairs leading up to the waterfall. The road there is wide enough. Even from a few steps away, you can see a waterfall resembling Angel Falls. Now, the base of the waterfall is surrounded by trees and isn't a rocky cliff, but...While there are quite a few steps to get to a good viewing spot, it's a pleasant climb if you take your time, admiring the irises (shaga) blooming along the way. You'll likely feel a light mist from the waterfall on your face. After a rainy day, the view should be even more breathtaking. It's said that Kukai (Kobo Daishi) also practiced asceticism here. You can see a large hornet's nest on the cliff to the left of the waterfall.
