Non-Irudo Waterfall
A sacred place for waterfalls known by those in the know. Take a walk while feeling the murmuring of the stream.
This waterfall is located within the precincts of the 900 year-old Furuido Kanzeon-ji Temple, where visitors can perform waterfall ascetic practices to purify their bodies and minds while being battered by the waterfall. There are three pipes that draw water to the Otakiji, where people can bathe in the waterfall, so that three people can do the ascetic practice at the same time. Next to the waterfall, where azaleas and rhododendrons bloom in season, there is a path leading up to the inner sanctuary, where many stone Buddhas, including Kannon Bosatsu and Fudo Myoo, are enshrined. The path is a little steep with steep stairs, but the sound of the clear stream can be heard the entire way, making it a pleasant walk. The waterfall walk can be done freely and at one's own risk, but beginners should do it under the guidance of an experienced person.

One of the largest ancient ruins in Japan, reminiscent of the evil country
The site is one of the largest ancient ruins of the Yayoi period (5th century B.C. to 3rd century B.C.) in Japan, and is designated as a special national historic site. The discovery of building ruins and other structures reminiscent of the Yamataikoku Kingdom described in the biography of Wei Wei, the founder of the Japanese occupation of Japan, has brought the site to the attention of the entire nation. The site is important for research on the period when rice culture began and the culture of settling in villages called "kuni" took root, and the excavated copper sword with a handle and glass tube ball are nationally important cultural properties. In the Yoshinogeri Historical Park, buildings from that period have been restored, and visitors can step back in time to ancient times through the Ancient Experience Program and other programs.
