Overview
The waterfall is on the border of Akita2 on Lake Lake Lake Koda, or near ZXXQ4XZ4XZZZQQQQQ145X, and can be seen from State Road 2. As the name implies, seven waterfalls have dropped a drop of about 60 meters. Also, since the area around the waterfall is maintained as a park, and there are playwalks and bridges up to the falls, you can get closer to the falls without climbing mountains or walking in the mountains.
The legend of the shrine of Nanataki Falls
Once upon a time, there was a landowner named Sung-sung Gate. From his house to his hairdresser, he was proud to be able to go without throwing away his land. Once I cut wood out of the forest. It was a lot of warm winter in the 35 homes. At that time, it was strictly forbidden to throw objects into waterfalls. If I threw something into the waterfall, it was thought that God's bee would hit it. He did what it was forbidden to do, and he tried to brag to everyone about his strength. Sun Tung's left gate dropped all the firewood from one to the next. The Sun-George left gate, with its arms folded on the side of the falls, says, "Well, how about my strength? "I don't have anybody to go after me," he smiled. When the wood fell into the fourth pot of the waterfall, lightning like thunder lit up and I heard a painful sound in it. The wood floated when it was in water, but the wood was sucked into the pot and didn't float. The surprised right-hand Sun guard, muttering in her mouth what's wrong with her, went home and lay on the floor. Then that night, in my dream, a giant snake with all its wounds came out with blood. "I'm sure I'll punish you," and then I disappeared. I wondered how I could be forgiven by the Dragon God, and Sun Myung Gate thought of building a shrine by the falls and building a god. Sun Myung Gate apologized for what he did every day in the shrine. Either the heart made sense or the wounded dragon didn't appear in the dream.
