Sasa Falls, Mountain waterfall in Totsukawa, Japan
The 32-meter Sasa Falls releases water through rocks in the Kumano Mountains, creating a vertical cascade within a dense forest environment.
The Ministry of Environment recognized Sasa Falls in 1990 by including it as number 64 in the official Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls listing.
Local residents maintain traditional practices near Sasa Falls, incorporating the natural formation into regional festivals and community gatherings.
Visitors need to navigate narrow mountain roads and follow a marked trail starting at a torii gate to reach the designated viewing areas.
The water flow creates multiple streams as it descends, splitting into separate channels before reuniting at the collection pool below.
