Daisen Falls (大山滝) — waterfall in Tottori, Japan

Daisen Falls

大山滝
Top 100 Chugoku Tottori Prefecture ↓ 42 m

Daisen Falls carries the name of western Japan's most storied mountain region into Tottori's share of the official Top 100 Waterfalls. The fall itself drops 42 metres at Noikura in the town of Kotoura, Tōhaku District, in central Tottori Prefecture. The documentation on it is brief, but the essentials stand: a substantial mid-sized drop, a precise home in the Kotoura hills, and a place on the national list of one hundred selected waterfalls — the recognition that separates a locally loved cascade from one the whole country is invited to seek out. For Tottori, Daisen Falls is one of two such entries, anchoring the prefecture's western claims on the list.
