Sō Falls, waterfall in NiigataXXX169X.

Overview

It's a straight angle 80 meters high and 6 meters wide, and the water slips swiftly from the top of the cliff. These cliffs are steeped in turquoise rocks, and besides the dissemination of the lines, you can also see strangulations around them. You can see a small waterfall about eight meters high above the falls. Sō Falls is located in a 30-minute walk from the hot spring city to the mountain range. Before the falls, there is a Sō Falls intrusive king, and you can still see him.
