The Japanese for centuries had a belief that monsters or gods lived inside of waterfalls. For that reason, they often put shrines near waterfalls to honor the spirit or for protection from the spirit the dwelt within the torrent. This namesless little waterfall is located right next to the Sea of Japan, with two shrines surrounding it. Sadly, the small shrine on the bottom is the only one that can be photographed with the falls. Any comments would be greatly appreciated! Thanx.
