Japanese Waterfalls Posted by on Sep 22, 2010 in Uncategorized

Japan is home to some of the most majestic and scenic waterfalls. Some of the more famous ones are :

Kegon no Take (華厳) or Kegon Falls is one of the tallest waterfalls in Japan. Unfortunately, the altitude is what makes this a popular suicide spot as well.

Nunobiki no Taki (布引の) or Nunobiki Falls are famous because several poets and novelists have mentioned the Falls in their poems and stories.

Nachi no Taki (那智) or Nachi Falls is well over 100 meters tall. There’s a shrine near the waterfall, making the pilgrimage to the waterfall a sacred site.
