One of the the 100 Selected Waterfalls of Japans. The drop is 80 meters, 40 meters wide, and the largest waterfall in the Tohoku region. The tributaries of the Azatan River, up the Matsu River, are located near the altitude of 860 meters. The earth's crust is a floating rock, and there are several waterfalls in the vicinity, including underground waterfalls. In the upper right-hand corner of the waterfall from the observation table, there may appear a waterfall called Nunobiki Falls, but it can only be seen when there is a lot of snow and snow.
Access
It's about 20 minutes' walk from the parking lot of the Suigawa Hotishima shop to the exhibition platform where all the scenery can be seen. The distance from the Fukushima shop is about a mile in the mountains, but because of the climb, there is a personal difference in time. Since the Fukushima shop's parking lot is for staffers, if only for sighting waterfalls, you need to take advantage of the parking space near the river bridge, which is about 100 meters (about 100 meters) away from the museum. Some routes go down from the observation table to the waterfall pot, but you have to move through the river, and the difficulty is greater. About 20 minutes' time from the observation table. It's possible to go back from the Tokigawa Bridge to the river and access it to the falls. Although it's for beginners for the Hanzawa - climbing course, we need limited equipment and technology. We need to climb from JR pass because the road to the Sly River Hot springs will be blocked during the winter. Three hours, four hours.
The episode
The selection of the 100 Selected Waterfalls of Japan was done mainly by administration, and from Yonezawa recommended the white blanket waterfall near the white water springs for easy access and for reasons already touristized. However, the waterfall itself has zXQ051X several levels above it, and it also has the recommendation of Naganye, a few members who were familiar with the falls, and Namekawa Great Falls has been selected for a hundred. According to Nagase, after the election, there was still a massive change in government request, but it hasn't been realized. There's no such thing as a government sign or sign, no such thing as an exhibition platform, no indication that it's an exhibition platform or a 100-choice waterfall. After the suspension bridge, which is the only road to the Great Falls Hall, was shut down because of old age, the view has become quite difficult. A new bridge, about 20 meters long, was replaced.
