The the 100 Selected Waterfalls of Japan was chosen.

Overview

- 8 meters off the mark. At one time it was so great that it would be praised as First West of the Sun. But by the massive development around the falls, which led to the construction of the Sun Kingdom, it didn't leave a shadow of the time of the end. It's counted in one of the landscapes of Nishishiiya Falls. And with Higashishiiya Falls and Fukuno Falls, it's also called "Sun Three Falls." This waterfall has a zXQ233X and a zXQ 231X Hospitalside Town.

Access

I'm here to show you from Highway 387. Going down a steep walk from the parking lot about 400 meters, you'll get to the observation table.
