Shiramizuno Taki, Registered Monument waterfall in Taketa, Japan
The Shiramizuno Taki waterfall stretches 200 meters wide with a height of 20 meters, creating thin strands of water that flow over curved rock formations.
During the 15th and 16th centuries, Hasegawa Kakugyo, founder of Fuji-ko religious movement, performed spiritual practices near the waterfall, establishing it as a pilgrimage site.
The waterfall's name translates to 'white water' in Japanese, reflecting the appearance of water cascading down the rocks like delicate silk threads.
Visitors can reach the waterfall by car from JR Bungo Taketa Station within 15 minutes, followed by a 10-minute walk from the designated parking area.
The waterfall forms part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, recognized in 2017 for its combination of natural features and sustainable agricultural practices.
