Below the Nachi Falls, the largest waterfall in Japan, awaits you the destination of your pilgrimage. Over the centuries, a huge complex has been created here that includes both Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. The famous pagoda in front of the waterfall can even be climbed. From their circulating outlets you can enjoy an incredible panorama of the valley and the surrounding mountains. Below the temple complex you will also find hotels, restaurants and small shops.

This is a Buddhist temple. Buddhists tend to build their temples taller, while Shintoists tend to build theirs wider.
