Shindo Falls announces itself in its name: written with the characters for "tremor" or "vibration," Shindo-no-taki suggests a waterfall whose 83-meter drop was felt as much as seen by those who named it. It falls in the town of Kokonoe, in Oita Prefecture's Kusu District, among the volcanic highlands of central Kyushu. Kokonoe's entry is one of four waterfalls Oita placed on the official Top 100 list — a prefectural showing that spans everything from broad river falls to sheer cliff plunges, with Shindo Falls firmly in the latter camp at over eighty meters of vertical descent.
