At 100 meters, Mikaeri Falls is a full-height cascade by any Japanese standard, and the tallest waterfall entry in Saga Prefecture's share of the national Top 100. Its name — "the waterfall you turn back to see" — is a small piece of poetry built into the map: the kind of fall that makes walkers stop and look over their shoulder one more time. It descends within Tenzan Prefectural Natural Park in the Ochi area of Karatsu City, where the Tenzan massif rises behind Saga's northern coast. Protected park status and the round-number drop make it one of the anchoring sights of inland Karatsu.
