    "These rapids is located on the Hidaka River. While called a waterfall, there is almost no falling waterfall, instead this section of the river consists of a series of beautiful rock formations and countless boulders standing amidst raging rapids. There is an open space along the Hidaka River where you can see Sai-no-Narutaki Falls, and there is an explanatory board with excerpts of the original text of the novel ""The River Hidaka"" by Sawako Ariyoshi, a Japanese literary writer from Wakayama Prefecture. It is known as a dangerous spot for rafting that was popular for transporting wood downstream. There is a suspension bridge nearby from where you can see the raging river below."
  • Mandarano-taki Falls

    Wakayama Tanabe-shi Ryujinmura Ryujin
    "This waterfall is situated in the mountains of the Onsen-ji Temple in Ryujin-mura Ryujin, Tanabe City, Wakayama Prefecture. Moss grows around the falls and its green color contrasts with the white water of the falls produced as it is stirred into a froth by the black, rocky protuberances which grow in number as the falls descend. The waterfall famously appears in novelist Kaizan Nakazato's premier work ""Dai-bosatsu toge"" and is also known to have been used for ascetic training by the great monk Kobo Daishi."
