Jinba Falls, Waterfall in Fujinomiya, Japan

The Jinba Falls cascades down 5 meters in height and extends 20 meters across, fed by natural springs emerging from volcanic rock formations.

Minamoto no Yoritomo, the first shogun of Japan, discovered this location during a hunting expedition in 1193 and named a nearby stone Taikoishi.

The annual Jinba Falls Festival in August brings the community together with traditional taiko drum performances and local celebrations near the waterfall.

The waterfall stands 300 meters from the designated parking area and requires visitors to arrange transportation as no public transit serves the location directly.

Children regularly create temporary rock bridges across the Gotomoku River while families wade through the clear spring waters beneath the falls.
