Saimyoji Falls, Natural waterfall in Takarazuka, Japan
The cascading water of Saimyoji Falls drops through multiple tiers surrounded by dense forest vegetation and natural rock formations in Hyogo Prefecture.
The waterfall gained recognition in the Edo period when Buddhist monks from the nearby temple established meditation spots along its path.
Local residents regularly participate in seasonal festivals near the falls, incorporating traditional purification rituals and water ceremonies throughout the year.
Visitors can reach Saimyoji Falls by taking the Hankyu train to Minoh Station, followed by a 40-minute walk along marked trails.
The falls create different patterns during each season, with winter bringing partial ice formations while summer increases the water flow substantially.
