Hossawa Falls It's also written down in Toshizawa's waterfall. One of the the 100 Selected Waterfalls of Japans.
Overview
There are four steps of waterfall in Sethan on the banks of the North autumn River, with the first gap being 26 meters or 60 meters in all. Since waterfalls are similar to those of monks, they used to be called those of payers. It is reported that a great snake lived in the waterfall pot. In the wintertime it will be ice-cold, and in Hinohara it will be the largest ice-cold day. In recent years there have been fewer years of total ice condensation, but on January 8th, after 10 years, it was total ice. This is the largest tourist attraction in Hinohara, and every year, in mid- August, the falls will be held and the waterfalls will light up.
