Nanatsugama Falls It's in the Great Valley, known as Japan's Three Deeps. As the name implies, it has many waterfalls, and the difference is over 120 meters. This is the name chosen by the the 100 Selected Waterfalls of Japan.

Overview

The Nanatsugama Falls has an exhibition. However, falls are frequent around Nanatsugama Falls, and some of them have concrete stairs with two hand chains. The heavy rains of 2004 (Cyclopædia of 16) caused massive rock avalanches between Nanatsugama Falls. Since then the mountain trail to the falls has been blocked, but now it is possible to pass through in May 2021.
