Kanbanotaki Waterfall

The Kanbanotaki Waterfall, also known as Kanba Falls, is a majestic waterfall in Maniwa, Okayama Prefecture. It is 110m high and about 20m wide and has been named one of Japan's best waterfalls. It is said that the water splashing down and breaking on the black rocks looks like white carps swimming against the stream. The area around the waterfall is a designated prefectural nature park. As with other forestry areas throughout Japan, the area is very pretty during the autumn leaves period. There are also wild monkeys living in the area, but the chances of seeing them are slim.
