Two-stage waterfall

One of the five great landscapes of Sandankyo. A powerful waterfall, 15m high and 3m wide, near Sarufei. Water smoke rises and roars. Originally, it was two steps, but in the torrential rains of 1988, the upper row collapsed into one step.

Three-tiered waterfall

One of the five major landscapes of Sandankyo. It is a magnificent waterfall that flows down with a head of about 30m divided into three steps, and the water smoke that rolls up surrounded by a precipice is spectacular. In each season, the breathtaking beauty coupled with the surrounding landscape is the best highlight of Sandankyo. The falls, which are colored by autumn foliage, among others, are stunning.

Monkey Fei

Narmen, located approximately in the center of the Sandankyo. It is a narrow toro with a width of about 5m and a length of 85m, and is sandwiched between a quay with a height of 20m. The top of the precipice is about 2m at the narrowest. The name came from the monkey flying there. There is also a thrilling ferry (fee: 500 yen, period: late April-late November) that crosses the rope between the quay to the two-stage waterfall.

Katsura Beach

A white-sand coast and green pine forest that was also selected for "100 Japanese Shirasuna Aomatsu" and "100 Japanese Nagisa", spread almost in the center of Kurahashi town. There are also a monument featuring songs contained in the Man'yōshū, the remains of Japan's oldest Western-style dock, the Katsura-bin Shrine, whose main shrine is designated as a national important cultural monument, and the Shipbuilding and History Hall of Nagato, which displays the restored Tang-Japanese ship. In addition, at the nearby Katsurahama Onsen Hall, you can enjoy spacious inner baths, various whirlpools, and street stalls using the source as it is.

Night Light

It is located right next to the Iroha Maru Exhibition Building and is a symbol of Tomonoura, which served as a lighthouse to mark the entrance of the harbor during the Edo period. It is also known as the lantern tower, which is lit at night and has a feeling of wind.

Mount Takamiyama

The mountain at an altitude of 283m in the Seto Inland Sea National Park, which used to be a lookout for the Murakami Army, so you can see the Inashima Ohashi and the Seto islands, and if it is sunny, as far as Shikoku. It is also famous as a cherry blossom spot.
