Overview
It's in the area of the river's tributaries. You're running down rock skin formed from Hanaoka, three waterfalls that were formed over 400 million years ago. The difference is 34 meters. It is characterized by the altitude of the waterfall at 250 meters and at low altitude. The name of the waterfall comes from its swift fall, as with a large barrel of water. At the top of the falls are legends of sad love stories, such as the bedrock, the barrel, the upper barrel, and the bottom of the falls. In 1934, Tokuo Shizuno came to see you on a vegetable gathering in Mount Shira. In 1956, I was named part of the Rural County Natural Park. There is a bridge under the falls and you can view them from here. Before the fall, there is a log house called "The Great Bask Nature," which is loaned out by fee.
