Nachi Falls is one of Japan's three greatest waterfalls, where a clear stream flowing from the Daimonji Mountain Range becomes a large waterfall. There are many waterfalls called Nachi 48 Falls, but the one with the greatest drop is Nachi Otaki, also known as Ichino Taki. Ichino Taki is said to be 133 meters high, 13 meters wide at the Choshi-guchi, and 10 meters deep at the waterfall basin, with about one ton of water falling every second. Upstream from Ichino Taki, there are waterfalls called Nino Taki and Sanno Taki, and these three waterfalls have been designated as national scenic spots. Furthermore, downstream, there is a waterfall called Fudokyo no Taki, which is named after the monk Bun'aku who trained in this area. Many waka poems and other literature have been written about this beautiful landscape, and many people, including the poet Saigyo and the haiku poet Takahama Kyoshi, have been inspired by its beauty. The area around Nachi Falls has been designated as a special area of the Yoshino-Kumano National Park, and the surrounding mountains have also been selected as a natural monument of Japan called the Nachi Primeval Forest. Nachi Falls, where you can enjoy the magnificent beauty of nature, is sure to impress those who visit.
