Shindō Falls, in Oita, Kokonoe. The the 100 Selected Waterfalls of Japan was chosen.

Overview

It's a form of conjunctivation, which is a form of alcohol that comes from the Yukagawa upstream. The male waterfall is named Shindō Falls because it seems as if its water supply is high and its flow causes the surrounding area to tremble. The male waterfall has a large waterfall pot of 6,000 meters. There's a hot spring of about 30 degrees Fahrenheit [38 ° C] coming out from around the waterfall pot. From ancient times, it has appeared in books and in the book "The Story of the Lord's Story of the Sun of the ship, " written in 1886, in the town-age civilization. Also written in the late Edo Cultural Year of 1804, the painter Takeura Takeura, the artist, wrote about the earthquake wave. An ancient object of local faith was the ritual of putting a waterfall in every disaster to calm the dragon god's anger. In addition to the amusement walkways being maintained until the falls, in 2006, you can also hope for a view of them from the Great Bridge, which opened in October.
