Nachi Waterfall Halfveiled in Fog(Kirinikasumu Nachi-otaki)

霧にかすむ那智大滝

Mysterious, large waterfall half-hidden by fog

A distant view of Nachi Waterfall, the highest single-drop waterfall in Japan, with a three-storied pagoda is the most spectacular sight around Mt. Nachisan. This view varies as the season, time and weather conditions change. In particular, on a fog-filled day, you can experience a moody scenery filled with mystery, a kind of scenery you can often encounter in Kumano.
