Kanpire Falls
カンピレーの滝Okinawa
A wide, slow-flowing cascade about 250m upstream from Mariyudu Falls on the Urauchi River, its name meaning "the place where God sits down" in local dialect -- a traditionally sacred site where visitors can walk right up onto the exposed rock bed. Water flows across roughly 200m of rock at a gentle grade, making it more walkable than Mariyudu.
