In search of coolness... (2)

When one hears the word "cool" in summer, mountain streams and waterfalls come to mind. The waterfall I recently visited is secretly gaining popularity because visitors can go behind the cascading waterfall. From the front, you can see the waterfall flowing down in two separate streams. The two waterfalls flow in different ways, creating a beautiful sight. The back side of the waterfall, or the cave-like space in the back, appears to be a mysterious place that should not be entered (in fact, it is possible to enter and see the back side of the waterfall from there...). When the water volume increases, in addition to these two waterfalls, a child waterfall appears, and it is considered a place to pray for safe delivery, child rearing, and good luck, and the Kannon (Goddess of Mercy) is enshrined within the womb. It is possible to enter the inner space without getting wet from the waterfall, and watching the water splashing down from behind the waterfall is somehow reassuring, perhaps because of the nature of this waterfall.

About a 20-minute drive from this waterfall is one of the three most famous waterfalls in Japan. It is 73 meters wide and falls in four stages from a height of 120 meters, hence its other name, "Four times waterfall." The name is said to have come from the praise of Saigyo, a Buddhist priest who visited the area, who said, "You must come here once in each of the four seasons to experience the true beauty of the place." The waterfall offers different atmospheres in spring, summer, fall, and winter.

Of course, the area near the waterfall is a cool place to be, but the interesting thing about this waterfall is the artificially maintained approach. Upon entering the entrance, there is a tunnel. When I visited in summer, it was lit up in blue, and the cool air was very pleasant and enjoyable to walk through. It is a spot where you can already feel the "coolness" of the air. There is a hole on the right side of the tunnel that leads to the viewing platform, and the view of the waterfall from this hole is also nice.

From the first viewing platform, you can see the wide expanse of the waterfall cascading down in front of you, which is truly breathtaking. There is a suspension bridge from which you can enjoy the waterfall from different angles. If you take the elevator to the second viewing platform, you can get a panoramic view of the waterfall from outside. The waterfall is said to show various heart shapes depending on the change in water volume.

After visiting the waterfall, I stopped by a café, an old private house with a stylish retro atmosphere. I ordered juice made from Okukuji apples, a specialty of the area. It was well chilled, refreshingly sweet, and very tasty, and was truly a luxurious way to feel cool.
