The the 100 Selected Waterfalls of Japan has been selected. It's located near 500 meters above the river above the river stream in the far reaches of Tesu River. The surrounding area is the earth's surface of granite. There's a main plant, and beneath it is a stream that flows over rocks. There are fallen rocks in the area, so it's forbidden to enter. There are four waterfalls and couple waterfalls upstream. The source of the falls is a peak of the Great Twaji, and a mountain of the Hajidashi River.
