Harajiri Falls
The waterfalls have a width of 120m and a height of 20m. Nicknamed “the oriental Niagara Falls.” It is well-known for appearing in the area of rice fields and has also been selected as one of the “100 best waterfalls in Japan.” The falls on a plain field are used as a road for local people so that you can see cars and sometimes tractors passing through and people walking through, which is unique and popular for visitors.

Chinda Falls
They are a beauty spot where Sesshū, a Japanese ink painter, drew “Chinda-Bakuzu” based on the falls. These falls consist of two falls, which are Odaki Falls connecting to the mainstream of the Ono River and Medaki Falls connecting to Hirai River, which is the branch stream of the Ono River. Odaki Falls has a width of 100m and a height of 20m. There is a building of an old water-electric power plant, and this area has become a photo spot for cosplayers.

Tedori Gando
Here is where the Ono River Stratum, piled up on the ocean floor about 100 million years ago, was forced above by a fast-moving river of Ono. The stratum has been inclined by crustal deformation and the form looks like a door is set up. Mitten crabs carefully walk on the rocks trying not to be flown as the river stream is very fast so that people can catch the crabs by hand. This place is named after the action. It is also famous for catching crabs.
