片	片倉靖絵 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Usually there isn't crowded.Japanese summer is very humit but,this places is Cool and pleasant.
P	Paul Schuele on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful high falls. Short walk on a dirt path through tall trees (cedar?) to the falls.carved animals and dragons along the path. Also smaller falls and a water fountain.
B	Benoit RULLEAU on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very nice place. But it's completely absurd to build a large metallic structure to access a viewpoint instead of making it a simple path on the ground, or even better repairing the existing walkway and bridges.
D	Daisei Iketani (Pix4Japan) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Located near the head of the Tanzawa River, this waterfall is part of Saishō-ji, a Buddhist temple that is located nearby. The waterfall is only a 5-minute walk from the parking area provided for tourists located shortly downstream. The falls are used by the clergy and monks of the nearby Saisho-ji Temple, and is also a holy site for Japanese mountain ascetic hermits. Members of both traditions stand directly under the fall and endure the water striking the head and upper body during a purification ceremony. Unfortunately, super typhoon, Typhoon Hagibis, wreaked havoc on this area (as well as the rest of Japan) back in October 2019. I reached this location about an hour before sunset after a 4-hour drive. If the evening sun ever shines through the forest canopy, I was too late to witness it. Due to the encroaching darkness, all of the shots were taken with long exposures to capture as much light as possible. I feel that the large boulders were a bit overwhelming in my composition. Maybe if there was more water volume, or maybe if I had come before the typhoon there would be less rock visible. Although these shots are not very good and seem more cluttered than I'd like, being alone with my dog at this location was definitely worth the time and effort to get here.
