"Haso-no-taki Waterfall," located on a tributary of the Hiki River in the mountains of Shirahama Town, is a hidden masterpiece selected as one of Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls. The sight of the waterfall with a drop of about 22 meters elegantly cascading down multiple rock faces radiates a quiet beauty that leaves you speechless, especially combined with the deep green surroundings. As it is not heavily commercialized for tourism, you can be enveloped in the original sounds of nature and clear air, obtaining deep physical and mental relaxation. The journey along the way also allows for enjoyment of Wakayama's rich satoyama landscapes. It is a hidden sanctuary for experienced travelers who want to quietly savor nature's divineness away from urban bustle.
