The pagoda of Seigantoji Temple was built directly in front of the stunning Nachi Falls (the highest waterfall in Japan at 133m). The Buddhist temple is located directly next to the Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine of the Shinto faith, which underlines the often harmonious relationship between Buddhism and Shintoism. The temple is one of the few that still stands next to a Shinto shrine after the violent separation of the two faiths in the Meiji period. The original construction of the temple dates from the 5th to 7th century. Seiganto-ji is the first and southernmost of the 33 temples of the Saigoku Pilgrimage Route (西国三十三箇所, Saigoku sanjūsankasho), a pilgrimage that was first carried out in 1161. Entry to the temple grounds is free, but there is a small fee to enter the pagoda.

We came from the non-stairs direction climbing up the river, so it was an awesome surprise to find the falls up there. Then we realized that it was an attraction point which you can enter easily by using the stone stairs. Still not crowded and really nice. You can climb the rocks to take pictures or refresh in the water (but be aware, there are some small leeches..).

Must see.
