Urami Falls, 45-meter waterfall in Nikko, Japan.
The water cascades down through a series of drops along the Arasawa River, forming multiple streams within a forested gorge setting.
During the Edo period of Japan, the renowned poet Matsuo Basho referenced this waterfall in his literary works between 1603 and 1867.
The waterfall stands as one of the three principal waterfalls in Nikko, alongside the Kegon Falls and Kirifuri Falls.
Visitors need to take a 13-minute bus ride from Nikko Station, followed by a 45-minute walk through residential areas to reach the falls.
The water flow increases substantially during precipitation events, creating broader water curtains that transform the entire viewing experience.
