The Nachi Falls

The Nachi Falls

Nachi is also called Forty-eight Falls, and, as the name suggests, has many waterfalls. The most spectacular and famous is the one shown here called Ichi-no-Taki or O-taki. Kumano Nachi Taisha, one of the three major shrines in the Kumano region, is also located here. The shrine is said to date back to ancient times when this waterfall was thought to be a sacred place. Nachi was also a holy place for pilgrims who purified themselves at the waterfall before going up into the forest.==Date:unknown, Place:Wakayama, Photo:Usui Shuzaburo?, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number65‐21‐0]
