Sōmon Falls is a waterfall in NaraXXZZQ204X. One of the the 100 Selected Waterfalls of Japans is chosen. The top is separated several steps, and the bottom is broken like sewing through thin rock skin. The overall difference is 70 meters. Entering from the mountain path, following the river, climbing the rock ridges called the Backwaters. The elevated platform that you climb is commonly called Sōmon Falls Terrace, and you can seek out Sōmon Falls. There's basically no general route under the waterfall. If you look at the falls from the top of the mountain, which is a little north of the mountain, you can see them.
Geological Survey
It is a narrow valley from a cliff with Sōmon Falls running through the vantage point, with a vertical wall on the right and a straight wall on the right. The area, including Sōmon Falls, will be covered by a layer called the subsoil of the Milky Way. In the stream in front of us, called the Toyo River, it is the physiocs, or rickshaws, which consist of white rocks. This is a strip of earth that has been exposed in this area called the boulders, and because of the heat-reforming effects of the indentation of this boulder belt, the horn -ferred sandstone sandstone sandstone is scattered over a wide area. It is estimated that the valley is relatively wide and at high altitudes because of the rock's great resistance to erosion, and because of the rise of land in the entrances of boulders, it is also possible that the steep waterfalls were formed.
Traffic access
Using Highway 309, we're going to cross the bear in the Tenkawa north corner district. Access from the nearest railway station is about 45 minutes by car from the nearby Kiyoshino lower station. There is no parking lot, but the tributaries across the bear are so large that they can be parked on the side of the road. It's branching into the south and the south-tropic river, and it's going down south from the mountain road going south along the Kusaka River.
I'm going
The climb route to Sōmon Falls is a super-surpasser course and the rainy weather is prohibited. As soon as you go south from bear to bear, you will find a guideboard and a description of the road path. After a half hour of unpaved forest road, there is a branch, with the right side of the road up to Mount Fuji, and the left side is the Sōmon Falls route. As soon as we move left, we'll find ourselves in the river's wide, waterless stream that is about 40 meters wide. It's called the Yakashi Shiragawa. If you go back to the river for about half an hour after entering Toyogawa, the flow will eventually come back to life. In time, there will appear a small waterfall and a waterfall called Gamama Falls, so we'll cross this. From here, there are chains and traverses, where the rocks go back and forth, and then there's a suspension bridge and a waterfall called a waterfall. The Sōmon Falls is a series of parallel waterfalls, two waterfalls, and three waterfalls, and the Sōmon Falls hits this top, but it can't go back from three waterfalls to a wall, so there are steel ladders on the left side of the waterfall, and a course of climbs up a rock ridge called the rear gate. There are 32 iron ladders, and there are some air corridors across the street. It's pretty difficult for people who are afraid of heights. When you climb up the ladder belt, you end up on a terraced platform. Sōmon Falls can be sought from here. Quite a senior course.
