九階の滝 - Kitaakita

The road to the basin is very steep and keeps people away, but the unique godliness of this waterfall that only those who reach it can enjoy it is exceptional. A waterfall that correctly deserves the name "God's Sawa". Especially in the autumn colors, the calm water surface decorated with colorful trees creates a fantastic view with the swaying upside-down waterfall. 2020,09 The weather is cloudy and sometimes rainy. In front of me is a desperate steep slope wet with rain. I climbed to the hill on the right bank for the time being, but on the steep slope covered with smooth slabs spreading in front of me, it is impossible to build a decent fulcrum other than driving bolts, and apparently there is no way to climb only free of charge. That's it. To make matters worse, the slab on the right bank, which we are about to follow, notices that the slope becomes steeper as it goes up. "Can you go ...?" First of all, I climbed while following the vegetation that grows slightly in the depression on the right bank, but I decided that it was difficult to traverse to the waterfall with a steep slope, so I decided to go down the slope once and gain altitude while traversing to the waterfall again. Now that I have decided to climb free, I will be climbing with heavy climbing tools and backpacks that have become useless, but I can not afford to fail. Hold the tiny dents and bulges in the slab in front of you to connect the small grasslands scattered around, and traverse to the right side where the waterfall flows while gaining altitude, but on the way rainwater flow and dense moss It is blocked by, and it does not proceed as expected, only time passes. In addition, the occasional rain mercilessly wet the slopes in front of us, making climbing more difficult. I continued to climb while being forced to be overly tense, and finally reached a slight depression near the waterfall, which was only about the size of one person. I noticed and was stunned. However, if you look around, it is clear that you can not reach the 9th step (bottom step) unless you climb it, and you will descend to Takishita, which is thought to be about 50 meters from this place where there is no fulcrum now. Things are impossible. While following the hold of only the fingertips, I continued to climb a little to the right, and suddenly both feet slipped and I was dressed to cling to a large letter on the slope. I can't move ... While holding the slab on the face, I crawl my hands and move my body to the left side where there is a slight dent that I just arrived at, but I can not get a hold of my hands. Soon after, the slab in front of me started to flow from bottom to top and speeded up ... the moment I thought it was no good ... it stopped! Apparently, the Zile hanging from the shoulder to the waist increased the frictional force between the slab and the chest, and fortunately it slid down into the slight depression about 5 meters and stopped. I calmed down and tried again, but after all I slid down about 5 meters and stopped again fortunately, but my arms, legs and hands were bleeding, and my favorite clothing was tattered and dyed red. I thought I wasn't lucky for the third time, so I decided to take down the backpack, connect the harness and the backpack with a 20-meter zile, carry only the 30-meter zile, and climb. After gaining momentum and running up the slope of about 10 meters at a stretch using limbs, we finally arrived at the depression under the 9th step, and after taking a break, we connected another 30 meters of Zile and 9 steps. Arrived at the end of the eye. After that, he succeeded in pulling up Zack. Looking down, a terrifying steep slope spreads out below your eyes, and you can see the flow of water descending from your feet while making a lively sound. It's a spectacular view next to fear! Then, bundle the Zile, cross the edge of the first kettle to the left bank, and aim for the upper stage. When I climbed the side of the 8th step without difficulty, the slope of a thin band with a vertical wall on the right hand that I could not attach with Zack on my back appeared again, so this time Zyle and Zack were on the slope. I threw it up, lay down empty and climbed up the very narrow slope, and arrived at the spacious 7th step. I decide on a guts pose, but I lose my voice in the magnificent view that spreads in front of me. From here, you can see the water sliding down the eyes in a staircase pattern, surrounded by mortar-shaped slabs where plants grow clinging to each other, and beyond that, the gentle flow of Sama no Sawa appears small. Then, when you look up from there, you can see the steep mountains that keep people away, along with the skyline of the ridge with the "Peep of the Tengu" covered in green. I am inevitably impressed by the magnificent view of the unexplored region that is given only to those who have reached the right place, and bite the joy alone. The rain stopped before I knew it, and the sky was still cloudy, but the clear blue sky was spreading in my heart, and a refreshing breeze was flowing.

From Akamizusawa, the Noro River that flows through the eastern foot of Mt. You can see the 9th floor waterfall. Usually, it seems that many people go back to autumn, but the beautiful water ring-like water marks appear on the main waterfall on the final 9th ​​stage in many summers when the water volume is relatively large. Therefore, the recommended waterfall period is just after the cold has gone south several times from late summer to early autumn. Until mid-summer, it will be a bug hell, so it will be a retrogression like penance. Furthermore, if you want to go to the waterfall, you will need a full-scale climbing tool, and it is necessary to accompany an experienced person. The 9th floor is like a waterfall Nozawa is a disaster-prone area, and if you enter the valley with odd equipment, you will not be able to come back first. Known as "9th floor waterfall". Although the drop is 100m, it is said to be 135m in one theory, and it is the largest and most famous waterfall in Akita.
