Overview
In the tributaries of the Seoga River, it's located in the Kasakagawa River, which is the source of the stream from Mt. Fuji (1496 meters). I'm proud of the abundance of water in the 20-meter drop. And there's a legend that the waterfalls are 15 meters deep and there's a great snake living here. The perimeter is 100 meters high. It's easy to visit a car because it's available on the other side of 1913, but because there's no parking space around it and there's a narrow strip of rocks, many visitors come by small cars, such as bicycles, light cars, and so forth. The waterfall pot can be seen often from the bottom of the river when it comes down a narrow railed staircase. In addition, you can follow rocks and rapid currents to the very side of the waterfall. But since it's so dangerous, a lot of people pull it up on the river floor or in the middle of the stairs. The roar of falling water, and the cool atmosphere, and the cliffs and currents that extend through hundreds of meters, are worth seeing from the car and are one of the sights of the Tokushima.
