It's a legend
The zXQ12X waterfall has a sad legend of the daughter of a plainman who was kidnapped by a giant snake. To Iseshimaro of the normal family, there was a princess of his only daughter. The princess was heard in her hometown as a master of beauty and craft. One day, the princess went across the river to return the tools and didn't come home at night. The concerned father, Mitaro, found a large snake living in a Todoro Falls waterfall. When he thought he had been taken by a giant snake, he rose to his feet and grabbed his famous sword and ran to the falls at once. As soon as I got to the waterfall pot, I jumped into the waterfall with my mouth full. There was a world of dry rock at the bottom of the water, and the princess was waiting for Satori. The princess brought a brilliant young man together as her husband and entertained him for three days. This young samurai was the form of a great snake. After the hospitality, the princess gave her own woven silk scroll, and apologized for the unkindness of her parents, and said good-bye to her father. When he returned to Yamamura, he was surprised that three years had passed by. But then it was reported that peaceful days flourished in the village of Saito's village.
