Nachi Falls

Nachi Falls and Seiganto-ji are two of the most popular sightseeing spots in Wakayama Prefecture, located in the Nachikatsuura area of Japan. Nachi Falls is the tallest waterfall in Japan at 133 meters in height and 13 meters in width. The waterfall plunges down into a valley surrounded by the lush forests of the Kii Mountains. Seiganto-ji is an impressive Shinto temple located atop a steep cliff overlooking Nachi Falls. Visitors can enjoy sweeping views of the waterfall from the terrace inside the temple's main hall. On a clear day, guests can also see the sacred Oyamazaki-yama mountain. The temple dates back to the 8th century and is a designated historical site by the Japanese government.
