I love Tochigi Prefecture with its many hot springs and waterfalls. When I get tired, I go to a hot spring and then go see a waterfall. This time, I went to see Ryumon Falls and Ryuka Falls. It was relaxing. There is a cafe near Ryumon Falls where you can eat delicious desserts. Ryuka Falls is my favorite waterfall, and when you look up at it, it looks like a dragon, which was impressive.

Ryūka Falls is Shiobara’s tallest waterfall, measuring 60 meters tall. The water that zigzags across its three tiers is said to look like a dragon climbing a cliff before soaring into the heavens. The fall’s name, which means “Becoming-Dragon Falls,” is a reference to the popular Japanese legend about a carp that swam upstream until it encountered a waterfall. The carp managed to climb the waterfall, and is said to have passed through the “dragon’s gate” and became a dragon.
