Iwawaki and Mt. Minami Katsuragi become waterfalls. These waterfalls are collectively called the 48 Waterfalls of Takihata. In addition, it is also a scenic spot well known as a secret area since the natural environment is preserved and has not been altered by people.

Takihata Dam is downstream, and together the site has been chosen as one of Osaka's top 100 green landscapes.
