ふくべの大滝 Fkube-no-ootaki The Fukube-no-ootaki Waterfall
|
The Fukube-no-ootaki Waterfall with a height of 86 m is on the upper stream of the Ozo River in Chugu, Hakusan City, Ishikawa Pref. As the Ozo River runs like a snake, the area around this waterfall is called “Hebi-dani (snake gorge).”The waterfall boasts the highest drop in Hebi-dani area, or even in the prefecture. The waterfall is surrounded with steep cliffs, which adds strong impression to the waterfall. As the cliff seen from a bird's-eye view looks like a gourd, it was named “Fukube (meaning a gourd in ancient Japanese).” The water drops straight down to the basin. It gives very strong impression even when the water volume is not so large. When the water runs in a large volume, it is dynamic itself, giving off more splashes of water, which sometimes cover the Forest Road running beside the waterfall.
