Ame-daki — literally the "rain waterfall" — is Tottori city's entry in Japan's official Top 100 Waterfalls. It falls 40 metres in the Kokufu district on the city's inland side, where the coastal capital of Tottori Prefecture gives way to hills. The name is the most evocative thing the record preserves: a waterfall named simply for rain, the plainest word in the Japanese weather vocabulary attached to a permanent column of falling water. That economy suits it. At 40 metres, Ame-daki is neither a giant nor a miniature, but a clean, single-named fall whose selection for the national hundred fixed it as the representative waterfall of the Tottori city area.
