A Delicate 60-Meter Waterfall Cascading Down Rock Faces Like Silken Ribbons
About this spot
A 60-meter waterfall flowing down a soaring rock face on the opposite bank of the Takahashi River along National Route 180, between Niimi city center and Ikura Cave. Its name is said to derive from its appearance, like fine silk cloth draped over the rock surface. On days of heavy water flow, white ribbons divide gracefully into multiple cascades. A small vermillion bridge stands before the waterfall, and a small shrine dedicated to Fudo Myoo nestles at the base—a place suffused with sacred atmosphere. With parking just steps away from the waterfall, it's perfect for beginning your day of cave exploration, breathing deeply while soaking in the crisp morning air and negative ions.
Tips
Parking spaces are available along National Route 180, with the waterfall just a short walk away. Morning hours have lighter traffic and are ideal for photography. Mist near the waterfall may wet your feet, so wear slip-resistant shoes.
Best time to visit
About 30 minutes. In the morning, the air is crisp and dappled sunlight illuminates the waterfall beautifully
