桃尾の滝, Natural waterfall in Tomo, Nara Prefecture, Japan
The Momoo Waterfall cascades down 23 meters through layers of exposed rock formations along the Kasuga fault escarpment in eastern Nara basin.
The waterfall served as a training ground for Buddhist practitioners at the adjacent Ryufukuji Temple, which has been present since ancient times.
A cliff-carved Buddhist trinity statue from the mid-Kamakura period stands on the left side of the waterfall basin, attracting religious visitors.
Visitors can reach the waterfall from JR and Kintetsu Tenri Station by traveling 5.5 kilometers east, with parking facilities and restrooms available on site.
The waterfall transforms into massive ice pillars during winter months, creating natural ice formations that alter its appearance completely.
