Waterfalles named "Fudo no Taki" 不動の滝

An impressive waterfall is considered the personification of Fudo, for example the Great Waterfall at Nachi, about which I wrote in the story about Kumano.

This Kurikara Fudo is the protective deity of a waterfall of Terazawa .

Takamori Fudo Waterfall


高さ50m、幅10m余りで、規模の大きさといい、周囲の谷間も広く、雄大な景観は実に素晴らしい。  若芽萌える春に、夏の涼を求めるに、秋の紅葉に、又、冬は全面結氷して、巨大な氷岩となり、四季を通じて訪れる人が多い。長野県自然百選の一つである。

gushes of the waterfall
