Overview
In the tributaries of the Sugigawa River is in the Kangi River, which is the main source of the Mt. Fuji. The difference is 110 meters, the largest in Western Japan. There's a little waterfall at the top. But you can't see them without climbing up the top. The leaves are beautiful in autumn. The earth around us is limestone, and we can see nearby a cave called "The Devil's Cave." There is a parking lot, a playwalk is maintained, and we get down the waterfall in about five minutes. There's an Opal Falls on the side of the playwalk, and the river has several lines of water from between the moss. Under the parking lot, there's also a waterfall. The surrounding area is home to the wild ninja monkey. >>Chris Brin:
It's a legend
Before I built Takada, I had a princess named Akira. A 15-year-old princess has been sick since she was a child, and her doctor declared her to be one or two years. One autumn day, I wanted to show her Kanba Falls red leaves in her last memory. So when I heard about Akira's illness, the Shikoku gave me a secret herb and a spirit that had been passed on to the temple for generations to cure her, and they promised to go with me when we next met. After that, by the nurse's help, Princess Akira visited the Sea many times. She was always attracted to the pure, gentle, gentle sea, and also the Shire Sea in love. But I knew that they couldn't get together from their differences. One day in late autumn, Akira made a passage from "The Origins" to make sure of her love. It was another scene of the death of Mr. Light's father and his lover, and there was a song about his devotion to living even though death was about to overtake him. When I asked her, "Is it possible that she can put her feelings into the frame of mind of her dress and "is it possible to express her love beyond such status or to die together?" She replied, "I'd like to go with you." So they promised to be with her in the next life. The following spring, an incident took place. On that day, the nurse and Princess Akira visited the waterfall by leading them to the Shira Sea. As I was eating lunch and talking, the princess suddenly began to sing the last song of my life that she had sent before she died. The song meant that she wanted to live with her loved one, and Princess Akira was leaning toward the Sea. When I heard that song, I thought to myself, "Oh, the time has come!" After singing the Japanese song, Princess Aki said good-bye to the nurse and the Shizuka Sea and ran for the waterfall. For a moment, the nurse and the Shizuru sea were surprised and at the same time raised their voices. The Shikoku followed the princess, held her tight, and tied her belt to the princess's belt. After giving a kiss to the nurse, they threw themselves into the Kanba Falls jar, eye to eye. But then a flash of light came in, and they noticed that they were in strange, soft hands, and that they were gently lying on the shore. After that, Princess Arman is told that she cured her illness on the grass and lived happily together with the Shizuka Sea.
The tradition of eighty-five images
When the princess and the Shire Sea threw themselves into the sea, a loving Buddha's statue reflected a beam of light on the clear sea. The one that the Shizua carved with the image of the Buddha in memory is the eighty-five-year-old. Today, the 80 image is believed by people as a Buddha who fulfills the wish of love and heals disease. It is said that the Buddha, who has a love relationship like the 80 image, and can make love, is rare and is not found anywhere in the country. The way to make a wish is to go around the 80th image three times, holding a picture horse with a wish written. It is said that in that way the 80 images that have seen the minds of the people will make their wish come true. Ask a lover, a lover, a loved one, or a sick sick person to make a request.
