Abandoned Torii Gate found in a submerged tunnel in Kani City, Gifu, Japan (2022) Photog. Saho

Found at the entrance of shrines, a torii is a gate that separates the realm of our world and that of the divine and spiritual. An important symbol for Shintoism, it’s also one of Japan’s most defining characteristics. Around 90,000 of them are found across Japan and traces of the existence of toriis date back to over a thousand years ago, and sacred places are most commonly found amidst nature, sometimes in areas inaccessible to the public. Some shrines lose popularity due to their remote locations or unapproachable appearance.

Come Explore Wakayama Nachi Falls In This Amazing All-around Documentary Tour!

Entering the Kumano Nachi Taisha grand shrine, we discover a hollowed-out trunk of an ancient Camphor tree, believed to have stood for 850 years. Walking through with a gomagi or ema is said to cleanse one's spirit. Adjacent to the shrine stands the historic Nachisan Seigantoji Temple, with its magnificent architecture and the famous three-storied pagoda.

As we approach the Nachi Falls, the sound of rushing water grows louder. This magnificent waterfall drops an uninterrupted 133 meters, proudly holding the title of Japan's highest uninterrupted waterfall! At its base, we find the serene Hitaki shrine. Descending the hill on the enchanting Ghibli path, surrounded by nature's beauty and fresh air, we feel a sense of peace.

For a lasting memory, we can purchase a professional photo from a photographer capturing this magical spot. There's even an option to get closer to the falls by paying a small entrance fee. Lucky charms and fascinating water-revealing charms await inside, providing a truly enchanting experience.
