竜化の滝, Cascade formation in Nasushiobara, Japan.
The Ryuka waterfall descends in three distinct tiers over a total length of 130 meters with a width of 5 meters through dense forest vegetation.
The waterfall received its name from the local population during the Edo period due to its resemblance to a dragon climbing up the mountainside.
The waterfall serves as a central element in regional folklore, with multiple traditional stories connecting it to ancient Japanese dragon mythology.
Visitors can reach the waterfall through a marked hiking path from the free parking area, with the walk taking approximately 20 minutes each way.
The waterfall reveals different formations throughout the year, transforming into large ice structures during winter months when temperatures drop below freezing.
