Katsuura, Japan
Nachi Falls
Nachi Falls in Nachikatsuura, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, is one of the best-known waterfalls in Japan. With a drop of 133 metres and 13 metres wide, it is the tallest waterfall with a single uninterrupted drop in Japan (although Japan also disputes Russia's right to Iturup Island, which has the 141 m high Ilya Muromets Waterfall); however, the tallest Japanese waterfalls with multiple drops are Hannoki Falls, at 497 m, and Shōmyō Falls, at 350 m. There are two rocks at the top of the falls that are the guardian kami of the falls and the Shinto shrine.
