Nachi Falls, located in Nachikatsuura, Japan, is one of the country's most iconic and picturesque waterfalls. Standing at 133 meters (436 feet) tall, it is the tallest single-drop waterfall in Japan. The falls are a part of the Kumano Nachi Taisha, a Shinto shrine that is one of the three sacred Kumano Sanzan shrines. The area is rich in cultural and spiritual significance, and the waterfall itself is considered sacred, often associated with the deity Hiryu Gongen.
