Funangyo Falls, hidden quietly deep in the deep, deep subtropical primeval forest of Sumiyo-cho, Amami Oshima, is a beautiful famous waterfall in a secret region known only to those in the know, flowing down dynamically over a drop of about 35 meters from a steep, sheer, huge granite cliff. It is said that the name comes from the fact that people used the rich trees in this surrounding area to "cut out (Funangyo)" "boats," and the workings of great nature and the historical romance of the islanders breathe here. Beautiful wooden promenade trails are maintained up to the front of the waterfall basin, and the moment you step in, overflowing negative ions and cool winds deeply purify your mind and body. It is the best power spot where you can directly experience the dynamic water vitality of the earth with your five senses.
