Waterfall

Message from

The Ryujin Waterfalls in Nakatsugawa, Gifu, are a mystical spot where the White Dragon is said to dwell. Legend has it that a white dragon appeared before villagers and ascended to the heavens from these falls. The water is crystal clear and changes color seven times a day, showing off shades of cobalt blue and emerald blue. Surrounding the main waterfall are five other cascades, including the Borin Falls, all steeped in the lore of the Dragon God. It's a magical place where nature and legend come together in a spectacular display!
