Jp En


The Praying-for-rain Waterfall is one of 100 major Japanese waterfalls, and is located near the town of Kamiyama, Myozai-gun, Tokushima Prefecture.
The waterfall has two courses and three stages at 45m in height.  On the way to the waterfall, other falls include Warbler Waterfall, Hell Waterfall, Maple Waterfall and Kannon Waterfall.  Their beauty makes people visit these spots again and again.
When praying for rain, people usually used to throw excrement into the basin of a waterfall and expect the dragon god living in the basin to get angry and bring onrain  to wash his body.  But at this mountain, people dedicated dancing in their prayers for rain.
In each of the four seasons, the Praying-for-rain Waterfall gives you  wonderful natural sights. Autumn is especially beautiful when the leaves turn red and the waterfall is colored by maple leaves .
