Todoroki Kujūku Falls promises abundance in its very name: todoroki is a roar, and kujūku — ninety-nine — is the traditional Japanese way of saying "too many to count." The falls belong to the Kareigadani River in Kaiyō, a town in Kaifu District at Tokushima Prefecture's far southern edge, with a listed drop of 58 metres. Alongside its place on Japan's official Top 100 Waterfalls, it was selected for the Shikoku Mizube 88 — the island's own collection of eighty-eight notable waterside places, a number that deliberately echoes Shikoku's famous pilgrimage circuit. A roaring fall counted in the national hundred and the island's eighty-eight: the arithmetic of recognition suits the name.
