Jōren Falls 浄蓮の滝

Jōren Falls One of the the 100 Selected Waterfalls of Japans.

Overview

The waterfall is in the upper part of the hunting river, in the main valley that flows northwest of Mount Fuji, and in the stream that flows directly down the basalt lava flow when Mount Skoria, in the eastern Izu volcano range, erupted 17,000 years ago. The difference is 25 meters, the width is 7 meters, and there are columns on the bedrock. The depth of the falls is 15 meters. The fact that there once was a temple near the left bank of the falls indicates that the name Jōren Falls. There's a collection of Izu Peninsula and Kumamoto only identified in Japan. Until I was able to open the way for volunteers to descend the falls during the Meiji period, it was thought to be a mysterious waterfall that would be blocked by cliffs and canyons and which people would not be able to approach easily. There is a free parking lot, and there's a souvenir store next to it. The waterfall is well down the valley from the parking lot and has a tough face for the elderly with weak legs. There's a souvenir shop near the waterfall pot. There are also scenes of Wasaby spreading along Hanzawa, but it's forbidden to anyone concerned. At the side of the falls, there is a monument to "Over the castle," the hit song by the singer Ishigawa. (Because of the Jōren Falls appearing in the lyrics "Over the Castle").

Legendary

There's a legend in the pot that the geyser spider lives in the cave. "I meet a beautiful woman when she goes into a waterfall in search of a drop." I made a promise not to publicize that I had seen the woman, but when I told the villagers that the man in the waterfall was a female spider, he fell asleep. One.
