Jion Falls, located on the border between Amagase Town in Hita City and Kusu Town, is a grand, magnificent masterpiece waterfall boasting dynamic beauty, where pure water flows down fiercely in two stages—the upper stage about 20 meters and the lower stage about 10 meters—from rich, green forests. Its greatest feature is the "Urami-no-taki" (waterfall seen from behind) aspect, where you can closely appreciate the falling water from walking paths maintained behind the falls, and the rich negative ions and thunderous water sound wrapping your entire body gently loosen travelers' hearts from the deep core, granting surprise and emotion. Also serving as a holy power spot remaining dragon god legends since ancient times, taking a deep breath in this environment completely cut off from urban speed makes you feel your mind and body being gently reset.
