那智の滝
Nachikatsuura, Wakayama
Nachi Falls
Nachinotaki is a waterfall on the middle reaches of the Nachigawa River in Nachikatsuura-cho, Higashimuro-gun, Wakayama Prefecture. It falls along an almost vertical cliff consisting of quartz porphyry, with a 13-meter-wide drop and a 133-meter drop to the waterfall, which can be seen from Kumano Nada. Although it ranks 12th in Japan in terms of overall falls, it ranks second in Japan in terms of falls, behind the Lucky Beet Waterfall, which has a drop of 140 meters. However, the Lucky Beet Waterfall is located on Narutori Island in the Northern Territory, so it ranks first in Japan within the scope of Japan's administrative rights. It is one of the three most famous waterfalls in Japan, along with Kegon Falls and Fukuroda Falls. It has been designated as a national scenic spot (designated on July 11, 1972, and the designated name is "Nachi Otaki").
