丸神の滝, Waterfall in Ogano, Japan

The Marugami Falls descends in three distinct stages through the Chichibu mountain range, with a total height of 76 meters over sandstone formations.

The waterfall first appeared in historical records during the late Edo period in the Shinpen Musashi Fudoki manuscript, documenting its natural formation.

The falls hold religious significance as part of the Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park, where mountain worship practices have occurred for generations.

Visitors can reach the falls by taking the Chichibu Railway to Mitsumine Station, followed by a local bus to Marugami Falls entrance and a 25-minute walk.

The falls represent the only waterfall in Saitama Prefecture selected among Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls, flowing from Mount Ryokami's massive chert rock formation.
