Urami Falls,Nikko

This waterfall is reached by descending Iroha Slope from Lake Chuzenji, passing Nyonindo and continuing to Fukazawa on Daiya River, and then walking a short distance. Since the mouth of the falls protrudes, revealing the back of the falls, this waterfall is also called kourami (glimpse of the back). The proximity of this waterfall and Han'nya Falls resulted in their names often being interchanged from the Meiji to early Showa Period.==Date:unknown, Place:Nikko, Photo:Ogawa Kazumasa, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number67‐35‐0]
