Futashika Umezu Falls

This waterfall is located along the Futashika River, a tributary of the Nishiki River, in Futashika, Iwakuni City. The gorge along the river has seven waterfalls including Umezu Falls, Ninotaki Falls, Hiryu Falls, and Kirikakure Falls, which are collectively referred to as the Futashika Falls. Legend has it that in Heian period a man known as Umezu Chujo Kiyokage, having been tasked with exterminating a two-headed deer that appeared on Kyoto's Mt. Hiei, tracked the beast to this area, where he finally destroyed it. Visitors can enjoy activities such as camping and walking the promenade that has been built in the area.
