Jion Falls, Two-stage waterfall in Kusu-machi, Japan
Jion Falls cascades down in two distinct sections, with the upper stage measuring 20 meters and the lower stage extending 10 meters in height.
A traditional narrative tells of a Buddhist priest who subdued a large serpent living in the waterfall through the recitation of sacred sutras.
The waterfall stands in Kusu Town, a region recognized throughout Japan as the homeland of fairy tales and local legends.
Visitors can reach the falls within 15 minutes by car from the Amase-Takatsuka Interchange on the Oita Expressway, with parking space for 12 vehicles.
The falls receive illumination during nighttime hours, creating different visual effects compared to their daytime appearance.
