Ishikawa Prefecture's entry among these pages is Uba Falls, written 姥ヶ滝, a 111-meter waterfall in the city of Hakusan. Its selection for Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls — the 1990 national list published by the Ministry of the Environment — is the fall's principal published credential, and at 111 meters it stands taller than many of the list's most famous names, Kegon among them. The documentary record consulted here is otherwise brief, leaving Uba Falls in the company of the Top 100's quieter entries: waterfalls of genuine scale whose reputations remain mostly local, waiting for travelers who work beyond the celebrated few.
