Matsumi Falls is a waterfall in AomoriXXZZZQ093X. One of the the 100 Selected Waterfalls of Japans. It's located in a national forest about six and a half kilometers from where it meets the main stream. It takes about three hours on foot from Highway 102 to Road 102. You need your climb gear. Because of snow, winter can't be near. The waterfall divides up and down, the white on the top and the floor on the bottom look like a vertical figure. It's estimated that pines growing on both sides give the name of waterfalls.
