What
a
beautiful
and
scenic
waterfalls!
Homeishijuhachi
Falls
is
a
waterfall
located
in
Aoba
Ward,
Sendai
City,
Miyagi
Prefecture.
It
is
located
on
National
Highway
No.
48,
upstream
of
the
Hirose
River.
-35
min
drive
from
Sendai
station.
Nikka
Whisky
Sendai
Factory
Miyagikyo
Distillery
is
situated
about
1-2
kms
from
these
falls.
-Falls
captivate
viewers
in
all
seasons
with
its
mesmerizing
beauty!
-I
fell
in
love
with
the
melody
waterfalls
create!
What
a
natural
music...
I
can
sit
for
hours
listening
and
enjoying
soothing
melody,
and
meditate
there.
-With
a
head
of
25
meters
and
a
width
of
10
meters,
between
Sakunami
in
Aoba
Ward
and
Shinkawa,
in
the
mountain
stream
where
mountains
approach
from
both
sides,
large
and
small
waterfalls
line
up
and
the
sound
of
the
waterfall
echoes
around.
Some
people
say
that
It
was
once
called
Bomeki
Waterfall.
It
is
also
said
that
"Boumeki
no
Taki"
refers
to
the
largest
of
the
many
waterfalls.
The
name
of
Otori
seems
to
have
been
born
after
modern
times,
but
the
etymology
is
unknown.
There
are
many
waterfalls,
large
and
small,
and
there
is
a
theory
that
the
sounds
of
these
waterfalls
are
seen
as
the
phoenix's
bark.
Another
legend
is
that
the
celestial
maiden
once
descended
and
danced.
There
is
a
small
shrine
as
these
waterfalls
are
protected
by
god
so
please
pay
respect
to
that,
and
maintain
the
serenity
of
the
place.
Highly
recommended,
I
visited
there
on
16th
Jan
2022.
Cheers
Happy
