Sandan Falls, Tiered waterfall in Akiota, Japan

The waterfall features three distinct cascading sections, each dropping from a height of approximately 50 meters within the Myogi Arakawa Saku Kogen Quasi-National Park.

The prefecture government of Gunma designated Sandan Falls as an official natural monument and place of scenic beauty on March 27, 2008.

The three tiers of the falls represent specific elements in Japanese natural philosophy, connecting water formations with spiritual meanings.

Visitors can reach the waterfall through a 30-minute walking trail from the parking area, crossing a bridge that leads to observation points.

The falls belong to the Three Famous Waterfalls of Nanmoku, alongside Line Falls and Elephant Falls, each displaying different water flow patterns.
