宇嶺の滝, Mountain waterfall in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan

The Urei Falls cascade down 20 meters through dense forest vegetation, creating water patterns against dark volcanic rocks along its descent.

The waterfall served as a natural boundary marker between ancient provinces during the Edo period, marking territorial divisions in feudal Japan.

Local communities gather at the waterfall during summer festivals to perform traditional purification rituals and water ceremonies.

Visitors can access the falls through a maintained hiking trail that starts from the nearby parking area, with clear signage in multiple languages.

The water flow varies significantly between seasons, producing different sounds that local musicians record for traditional Japanese compositions.
