文蔵の滝

Bunzo Falls cascades down 15 meters through a cave-like formation surrounded by rock walls on three sides, creating echoing sounds throughout the space.

The waterfall gained recognition during the 12th century when Buddhist monk Mongaku conducted rigorous spiritual training at this location between 1139 and 1203.

The waterfall serves as an active training ground for Buddhist practitioners, with a dedicated meditation hut and a shrine honoring the Dragon King deity.

Visitors can reach the waterfall by taking a 20-minute drive from JR Kasada Station on the Wakayama Line, followed by a 5-minute walk.

The water stream appears to shine through darkness as it falls within the cave-like structure, creating natural acoustics that amplify the water sounds.
