Ryumon Falls, Two-tier waterfall in Aira, Japan
The Ryumon Falls cascade down 46 meters in height and span 43 meters across, forming two distinct levels within the Tsukushi Lava Plateau.
A Chinese Buddhist monk named Lanxi Daolong discovered this waterfall during the Kamakura Period and named it after a similar formation in Henan Province.
Local residents practice taki-suberi, a summer activity where participants slide down the waterfall slopes using plastic water boards.
The waterfall stands 15 minutes from Oita Expressway Kokonoe IC, with rental equipment available at the entrance shop for water activities.
The falls transform into a natural water park during summer months, when families gather to slide down the rock face using specialized boards.
