Overview
It's made up of two imperceptible waterfalls, a male and a female waterfall. Male waterfalls are what we call back-view waterfalls, and they allow you to pass through them. There's an intrepid Abbey under a large cliff, and there's an imperceptible king. This falls alone is often referred to as "Tanashita Fudo Waterfalls." The female waterfall is 40 meters from north of the Hex Falls. The amount of water is low throughout the year. The route to the Shergawa Falls is not organized, and you can hope for it in a faraway view than the path from the DMV to the DMV to the DB.
The effects of the Tohoku earthquake
The Tokyo earthquake that struck March 11 in 2011 caused a crash on the side of the way from the main building to the Abbey and destroyed the way in. Also, some rocks fell to the stable waterfall parking lot on the slope. In March of 2019, the new way was opened, the back view was restored, but the heavy rain of June would cause the steps of the passway to flow again and stop the passage. In August of 2020, the steps of the passway were replaced and the tour resumed.
Traffic access
It's about 20 minutes from the car park. It's 35 minutes from Ojijitaka Station.
