kegon waterfalls in japan

       Kegon waterfall is a waterfall located in Lake Chuzenji, National Park Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. The inventor was a monk named Shodo Shonin.
    
     
        The name "Kegon" comes from the term for Avatamsaka Sutra in Japanese. This waterfall is one of the three most famous waterfalls in Japan, together with Nachi Waterfall and Waterfalls Fukuroda. From the top of the waterfall, tourists can go down to the bottom of the falls using the elevator.
   
         This waterfall is formed after the Daiya River flow changes its direction due to lava flow caused by the eruption of Mount Nantai. A number of smaller waterfalls are on the left-right and rear of the main waterfall with water coming from the crack rocks.
     
        This waterfall is a favorite location for suicide. On May 22, 1903, Misao Fujimura wrote his final poem, entitled The feeling at the Top Reef before plunging suicide.
