I'm going to give you an example of what I'm talking about. I was chosen the 100 Selected Waterfalls of Japan. The drop is 270 meters, altitude is 1000 meters, step by step.

Overview

It's located on the east side of the Great Snow White System and at the edge of the Epic of the Sky, a valley formed by the erosion of the Seyap River. It was discovered about 1900 and was originally called the "Big Falls," but in 1818, the Great Town of China was named the "Big Falls," which was "Am I going to fly across a cliff?" and "Is it going to fall from the Hagoromo Falls?"

Tourists

Close to a hot spring, one of the mountain's climbers to the Great Snow Mountain, and a playwalk from the hot springs to the waterfalls is under construction. Since then, playwalks have been a dead end, and there has been a long-term recovery work because of the complexity of the network and the cost of falling stones, estimated at 900 million yen. However, on June 11th, 2018, it was first opened on June 11. From the Falls Platform, which climbs about a mile and a half from the hot springs, you can hope for a full view of Hagoromo Falls and a waterfall.
