Overview
The difference between the Kannon Falls body and the ZX is 45 meters (m) and the width 9m. There are about 10 meters of deviations that can be seen from the waterfall's falls, and there are sources that record them at different levels, such as 27 meters or 70 meters. In waterfalls that flow down a slope of about 70 degrees, they make larger, deeper waterfalls and, when they have water, they sound and fly up. The upper side of the falls is relatively open ground and has polished granite. On the other hand, the lower river is narrow and narrow. There are eight waterfalls with names, including Kannon Falls, on the perimeter, and the valley is named Sung-sama. There are about two kilometers and 30 minutes of playwalk along the valley, allowing you to get close to the waterfalls and valleys. There's also a observational platform and a parking lot. The valleys are famous for their plums, for their mountains, for their cherry trees, for their fresh green leaves, and for their seasonal landscapes. In the latter part of the Showa period, there was a great deal of fishing in the river fish with a flood, but now it's a place for yams to go. Also, every August there will be an international waterfall.
Eight waterfalls and waterfalls
The following waterfalls, in order from upstream, join up. It comes from the cleansing process - from the washing and cleansing of the hands by the worshipers of the Shikoku Abbey. Kannon Falls - A so-called male waterfall. The trees are the edge of the river - the trees are coming out of the bank. A waterfall in the narrow fog. From the current comes the air current and flies up to the playwalk. It's deep, and the flow is calm. White Dragon Falls - flowing between rocks. The name comes from the fact that the stream is like a white dragon running between clouds. It comes from what I call the inner Umezu Mauji valley. There's an allotments. White silk waterfalls - because white flying cranes seem to spread silk cloth.
The legend of the falls and the visceral sound
At the right side of the waterfall is the hall of the "The Sound of the Sound," which came from the name of the waterfall. The hall stands for 4 years and 1714. It has a common name for the sighting of waterfalls. There is a legend about the healing of the eye. In the year 1592 of the Seung Jo period, Hideki, a man who served as a writer, came to Japan's castle and was led by the Korean army. At this time, the sister of Toshiki's preexisting sister took care of Hideki's surroundings. Hideki called this handsome, beautiful woman the Fukuzawa Agency. Hanzawa's office suffered from eye disease in his third year, 1594. There I prayed for 21 days in a living sound, washed my eyes in waterfall water, and said that I had recovered from eye disease. It can be said that the Hanzawa office built a bastion for the ceremony to be viewed by the public, and that the spirit of the gaze was spread over the edge of the Yoichi Shioyama area. It's also said that the grave of the Takazawa office in Yozawa temple is built in the east direction and that it's pointing to a live sound. This is what I want to do, and after this is what I'm going to do. In addition to the custom of writing a wish on a piece of cloth and putting it in, there were a lot of cloth on the hall.

The perimeter
From the falls, there are about 75,000 meters below the stream, and there's a cottage in the stream called Loftty Seven Mountain. There are other crops and hot springs and other things.
