花魁淵, Waterfall in Koshu, Japan
The waterfall cascades down a steep cliff face in the mountainous region, surrounded by dense forest and natural rock formations.
During the Sengoku period, the waterfall gained its name from a tragic incident involving 55 courtesans who were forced into the waters.
Local legends and folklore have made this location a significant part of Yamanashi Prefecture's heritage, attracting visitors throughout the year.
Located along National Route 411, the waterfall viewing area includes a concrete observation platform and parking spaces for several vehicles.
The surrounding area contains remnants of ancient gold mines, including the Kurokawa Gold Mine, which peaked during the Takeda clan era.
