   Shiokawa Falls, a tiered waterfall with a total height of 30 meters, presents a mesmerizing sight, especially if you climb upstream and view it from the base. However, the lower half of the waterfall, visible from the base, has an approximate 15-meter drop, captivating visitors with its natural beauty.
   During the summer months, the splashes of the waterfall and the surrounding mist create a truly serene and refreshing experience for those who venture there.
   Among some Japanese, Shiokawa Falls is regarded as a “power spot” – a place where one can absorb the Earth’s energy, seek healing, attract good luck, and revitalize both body and soul.
   With an official history dating back to the early Edo Period (1603-1867), Shiokawa Falls has been well-known among locals for generations. Today, the waterfall is easily accessible via a well-maintained paved path, and visitors can cross the vermilion Takigami Bridge to reach the site.
