World Heritage: Nachi Waterfall4.5
This 133m-high, perpendicular waterfall is one of the sacred spots in the Kumano faith, based on prehistoric forms of nature worship, and is connected to the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes. The waterfall is also called Misuji-no-taki ('three streak waterfall') as its waters fall down from three mouths, which gather four waterheads originated from Mount Machi. In the upstream, there are a series of waterfalls, often called Nachi 48 Waterfalls, where moutain ascetics practice rituals and spells.

An absolutely beautiful waterfall with a large area to view it from. I've been to a lot of waterfalls in Japan but this would have to be one of my favourites.
A slight walk from the car park/bus stop which has some rocky steps, these could be a little treacherous (especially in the wet) for older people or anyone who has trouble walking.
From here it is about a 10-15 minute walk up hill to the Seigantoji pagoda which has another awesome view of the waterfall.
Try to visit here on a quiet day as it is very peaceful and much more enjoyable with less people around.

Its the highest in Japan 133m. The picture of the waterfall alongside the pagoda is iconic. It would be nice to hike up to the waterfall there are 2 more waterfalls inside the mountain if you hike along the river. Local guides can help you in that.

Picturesque falls set in a nice natural surrounding. 4 stars becaause the falls were, while impressive, not as impressive as.others I've seen. No pool at the base just a rocky outcrop.
