It's a female waterfall with a drop of 45 meters to the right and a male waterfall with a drop of 27 meters to the left. The name of the waterfall comes from the fact that farmers here once, when dry, put on a bell drum and begged for rain. The falls are filled with the god Dragon King and his constant respect. From Amagoi Falls Parks (Amagoi Falls) to the playwalks, there are chair waterfalls, static waterfalls, hell, waterfalls, and sound waterfalls, and above that there are Amagoi Fallss.
