``Ama no Iwato Waterfall'' falls from a crack in the marble inside the limestone cave. With a height of 29m and a width of 1m, it is one of the largest waterfalls in Japan. The place where the waterfall is located is a cave dome with a circumference of 50 meters and a height of 60 meters, and the sound of the waterfall reverberates inside the dome. There is also a restaurant outside the limestone cave where you can eat the famous ``Taki Nagashi Soba'' that flows from a long bamboo tube. *Taki Nagashi Soba is currently closed due to demolition work being carried out due to the construction of a new facility.
