Kanba Falls, Natural waterfall in Maniwa, Japan
The water of Kanba Falls drops 110 meters over black stone cliffs, creating a 20-meter-wide cascade in the Okayama Prefecture mountains.
The Japanese government included Kanba Falls in their selection of the top 100 waterfalls and landscapes of Japan during the 20th century.
The central black rock formation at Kanba Falls takes the shape of a carp swimming upward, connecting to Japanese folklore traditions.
Visitors can reach Kanba Falls via a 10-minute taxi ride from JR Chugoku Katsuyama Station, with entry fees of 300 yen for adults.
A population of 200 wild monkeys lives in the forest near Kanba Falls, frequently appearing between December and March when food becomes scarce.
