    "This waterfall is in Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture. Its source is the Arakawa River that starts from Takizawa Dam. You can access it from National Route 140. It's the only waterfall in Saitama Prefecture among the official top 100 waterfalls in Japan. The waterfall has three drops: the first is 12 meters, the second is 14 meters, and the third is 50 meters. A Fudo-do shrine is nearby. The sacred water that springs from there is called ""Kusanagi-no-mizu"" and you can drink it. "
  • Nakatsu Gorge
    Travel / Tourism
    Saitama Pref. Chichibushi Nakatsugawa
    A beautifully scenic gorge extending approximately 10 kilometers created by the Nakatsu River, a tributary of the Arakawa River. The azaleas in spring, the fresh green of early summer are lovely, but the autumn foliage is particularly recommended. The sight of the steep walls of the gorge dyed red and gold is, in a word, stunning.
