Overview
It's located in the waters of the Sugawan River in Yoshino River. The top is small at the 20-meter drop near Kajikamori's 7th square. The river is springing from the top of Kaskamori.
Legendary
Once upon a time, a house in the Saga village under the waterfall, and one night a beautiful daughter begged for a night's lodging. The owner of the house accepted. My daughter asked me to pour water on her body when I was absent. The suspicious husband, when his daughter went to bed, looked at the cushions from between them and saw a large snake wrapped around it. The next morning, my daughter went away, saying thanks for the inn. My husband followed me slowly to where the big snake was. Then, when I got to Ryuo Falls, I quietly sank myself into a waterfall. After that, my husband said he was confined to bed with a serious illness. It is said that this waterfall has a daughter who has turned into a great snake. There are also legends around Kasashimori and Falls that in the early days of the peacetime, the sea of the young days was trained by the sea.
