Ryūmon Falls, Two-tiered waterfall in Kokonoe, Japan.
The Ryūmon Falls cascades down 20 meters in height and extends 40 meters across, creating two distinct levels of flowing water in the mountainous region.
The waterfall received its name from Chinese Buddhist monk Lanxi Daolong during the Kamakura Period, referencing a similar waterfall in Henan Province, China.
Local residents participate in taki-suberi, sliding down the waterfall surface during summer months while children gather to observe the traditional activity.
Visitors can reach the falls within 15 minutes by car from the Oita Expressway Kokonoe IC, with rental equipment available at the entrance shop.
The falls form part of the Tsukushi Lava Plateau, earning national recognition as a designated natural monument in the region.
