Takimata Falls

Takimata Falls is one of the [Keihoku Ten Scenic Sites].
From the Takimata Stone Buddha parking lot, follow the source of the Hosono River and walk about 1km through the forest until you reach the Takimata Stone Gate.From there, if you go forward while encountering stone Buddhas, a waterfall will appear beyond the trees.


The view of the waterfall falling from the 25m-high cliff is wonderful, and when you look up from the basin of the waterfall, you can see that the sky is wide open in the leaves of the trees, and it is a waterfall in the forest.The nature of the forest creates waterfalls with various faces throughout the four seasons.

After Oda Nobunaga's nephew, Tenkai Causal Resident, made a judgment on the religious question and answer [Azuchi Shrine] during the Tensho era, this Takimata Falls fell to Hosono for fear of revenge from the Nichiren sect and retired and practiced. It is said that it was.

On the way to Takimata Falls, there is a group of beautiful stone Buddhas.A total of 42 stone Buddha statues continue to the depths of the valley in places where the topography of the mountain slope changes and rock hollows.

This "Takimata Stone Buddha" is actually a new stone Buddha, and Mr. Norihiko Yotsutsuji, who was born and raised in Keihoku, spent more than 10 years trying to leave something as a proof of his life in his hometown. This group of stone Buddhas was created on the mountain.
If you go to see Takimata Falls, you will definitely come across this stone Buddha.
