Nametsu Falls

The waterfall cascades in two distinct levels over dark rocks, with the lower section creating a wide curtain of water into the Shiraishi River.

The waterfall has maintained its position as one of the top ten natural water features in Miyagi Prefecture throughout the modern era of Japan.

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

Visitors can access both levels of the waterfall via concrete stairs from the parking area near Route 113, with rest facilities available nearby.

The metal ladder embedded directly into the rock face allows visitors to position themselves between the two falling water sections.
