Kegon fall, Urami fall and the Kirifuri fall are
recognized as the finest three waterfalls of Nikko since early times.
The fall is divided into two steps of upper and lower side. The
upper side is 25 meters high, and lower side is 26 meters high.
The total height is 75 meters. The water of the lower side of the
fall hit the rocks as if fog comes down. By the way, Kirifuri literally
means coming down of fog. It became the name of this waterfall.
There is an observatory in front of the waterfall, and you can look
at powerful figure of the whole waterfall. That view harmonizes
neighboring landscape and you can enjoy green leaves and autumnal
leaves. Especially, autumnal leaves in the late October are beautiful.
