Nachi no Otaki・Nachi Primeval Forest｜Wakayama Prefecture World Heritage Center

"Nachi Waterfall is called Misuji no Taki, Nachi no Taki, or Ichi no Taki as water falls down from three mouths of the waterfall and has kept its form of Kumano Faith. Gathering four rivers from Eboshiyama, Okumotoriyama, Myohozan, and Funami Toge, water falls down a vertical 133m-high cliff from a 13m wide mouth of the waterfall, and is one of the most famous waterfalls in Japan. In upper Nachi no Otaki, there are forty-eight waterfalls called Nachi Shijuhattaki and they are the training stages for Shugen ascetic practitioners."
