Overview
It's a mysterious waterfall that flows from almost directly below Miyagi Mountain. Because of the succession of waterfalls up and down, there were many theories, such as: So a field survey was made by Professor Kojitakataro of the University of Ibnji University's Honor, and it was found that it was a total of 64 meters, 23 meters above the waterfall and 41 meters below. But sometimes it's said to be 102 meters. You can look for it from the Long-Tree ridge view in the middle of the Citadel Line. Also, to see the waterfall directly, you can step down a steep slope from the long-tail ridge view and walk nearly three hours each way up the valley and up the cliffs. The waterfalls are bright southward, and on a sunny morning, you can see rainbows on waterfalls. In addition, there are dangerous places along the way, and there are places that are easily lost, so be careful.
