Shasui Falls

洒水の滝

Kanagawa · Kanto

A three-tiered waterfall on the Takisawa River in Yamakita totaling about 90m in height, located on the grounds of Saisho-ji temple; officially listed among Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls (1990) and Top 100 Famous Waters (1985).

Why we picked it

A nationally-ranked waterfall with real religious history that draws almost no foreign visitors, reachable by a quiet 35-minute walk or short bus ride from Yamakita Station.
