Nachi Falls, located in the Wakayama Prefecture of Japan, is said to be Japan's tallest uninterrupted single drop waterfall. It features a beautiful 133 meter drop, and it situated within an evergreen primeval forest. People come here to appreciate natural beauty, but also worship the waterfall as the dwelling of the Shinto deity. Visitors can access the observation deck for 300 yen and sample the pure waterfall water for another 100 yen. The thunderous sound of the water cascading down will give everyone an enchanted experience. Additionally, the close proximity between nearby Buddhist temple Seiganto-ji and Shinto shrine Kumano Nachi Taisha offers a harmonious relationship between Shinto and Buddhism. Truly a breath-taking place, worth a visit!
