Kegon Falls

A magnificent waterfall falling 97 meters from Lake Chuzenji all at once, it is one of the three greatest waterfalls in Japan. "The Kegon Falls and the lakeside of Lake Chuguji (Lake Chuzenji)" were designated as a National Place of Scenic Beauty in 1931. Chuzenji Temple, a branch temple of Nikkosan Rinnoji Temple, is located by the lake.
