In contrast to the day before, this fall was huge! 63 metres high and 5 metres across. Very impressive amount of water falling. It is quite a tourist attraction, and said to change people's fortunes. I also heard that it was another Buddhist training fall, and that there is an image of Buddha behind the water. Apparently you are not allowed to go in the fall, but I saw no sign, so is on my list of things to do. It's close to Sakata, on the Sea of Japan side, a beautiful drive there from Yamagata City too, passing many smaller falls on the way.
