Kanba no Taki (Kanba Falls)

Overview

With a drop of 110 meters and a width of 20 meters, this tiered waterfall is one of the largest in Western Japan. It is designated as a National Scenic Spot (officially named 'Kanba-fuku'), and is included in the 'One Hundred Famous Scenes of Japan' and the 'One Hundred Selected Waterfalls of Japan.' It is characterized by its graceful appearance, where the water splits into several streams as it falls over the rock face, and the autumn colors are particularly stunning. Nearby, there are secondary waterfalls such as 'Tamamare no Taki' and 'Tōtō no Taki.' The area is also known for its large population of wild Japanese macaques; if you are lucky, you can see both the waterfall and the monkeys at the same time.
