There are countless beautiful and impressive waterfalls in Japan. This illustrated one is one of the most best-known - the Nachi taki waterfall. Probably it is famous because it is one of Japan's highest and continuous waterfalls. It is located right next to the Seigantoji temple.
In martial arts, meditation under waterfalls is considered a cleansing inspiration.
