Nametsu Falls

Nametsu Falls is a two-tiered waterfall in Shichikashuku that drops over dark rock faces in two separate sections. The water creates a wide curtain effect at the lower level before flowing into the Shiraishi River.

The waterfall became recognized as a notable natural feature in Miyagi Prefecture during Japan's modern period. Its standing as one of the region's significant water formations has remained consistent over time.

Local residents consider the waterfall a symbol of natural power, incorporating its image into regional promotional materials and community gatherings.

Access to both levels is provided by concrete stairs from the parking area near Route 113. Benches and rest facilities are located close to the parking area for visitor convenience.

A metal ladder is embedded directly into the rock face, allowing visitors to position themselves between the two water sections. This creates an unusual closeness to the falling water that few other waterfalls offer.
