You
can
easily
get
there
from
the
parking
lot
in
less
than
5
minutes.
The
total
length
of
the
three
waterfalls
is
about
20
meters.
It
is
about
100
meters
including
the
mountain
stream
part.
It
seems
to
be
the
largest
waterfall
in
the
Konan
area,
and
is
quite
spectacular.
The
origin
of
the
name
of
Kubon
Falls
The
three-tiered
waterfall,
upper
waterfall
(approximately
10m),
middle
waterfall
(approximately
8m),
and
lower
waterfall
(approximately
3m).
Depending
on
the
actions
taken
during
life,
there
are
three
levels
of
the
Pure
Land
to
be
reborn:
high
quality,
medium
quality,
and
low
quality.
Furthermore,
each
of
them
has
a
higher,
middle,
and
lower
grade.
It
is
said
that
3
items
x
3
raws
will
be
9
stages
(9
items),
It
seems
that
it
comes
from
reminiscent
of
Buddhism's
idea
of
nine
articles
of
birth.
Jōbon
Jōshō
is
the
highest
level
of
the
Nine
Ranks,
in
which
impeccable
and
good
people
are
born.
Origin
of
the
Words
Johin
and
Gehin
It
is
also
said.
From
the
place
where
up
to
7
to
8
cars
can
be
parked
by
GoogleMap
(5
cars
were
parked
when
I
went
and
there
was
still
room)
Looking
at
the
stone
pillar
of
"Kuhon
no
Taki"
on
the
left
hand
side,
if
you
go
to
the
back,
There
is
a
sign
saying
"Please
walk
to
Kuhon
Falls
ahead".
From
there,
you
can
reach
the
waterfall
in
less
than
5
minutes
on
foot.
You
can
go
up
the
side
of
the
waterfall
by
stairs
with
red
handrails.
There
are
places
where
there
are
stairs
that
are
neat,
and
there
are
places
where
the
water
is
just
like
a
rocky
place
and
the
footing
is
bad
and
slippery.
After
rain,
it
will
be
even
more
slippery,
so
wear
comfortable,
non-slip
shoes.
Be
especially
careful
when
going
downhill,
such
as
holding
the
handrail.

駐車場から5分もかからず気軽にたどり着けますが
滝の長さは三段合わせて約20メートル。
渓流部分も含めると約100メートルとなります。
湖南地域最大の滝らしく、なかなか見応えがあります。
九品(くぼん)の滝の名前の由来ですが
上滝(約10m)・中滝(約8m)・下滝(約3m)と三段になっている滝のさまが
生前の行いによって、往生する浄土のレベルに上品(じょうぼん)・中品(ちゅうぼん)・下品(げぼん)の三段階があり、
さらに各々に上生(じょうしょう)・中生(ちゅうしょう)・下生(げしょう)があって、
3品×3生で9段階(九品)になると言う、
仏教の九品往生思想を思わせることから来ているらしいです。
非の打ち所の無い善人が往生する、上品上生(じょうぼんじょうしょう)が九品の最高レベルとなります。
上品(じょうひん)、下品(げひん)の言葉の由来
とも言われています。
GoogleMapで案内される最大7〜8台ほどクルマが停車できる場所(私が行ったときは5台停まっていてまだ余裕がありました。)から
「九品の滝」の石柱を左手に見ながら奥に進むと、
「この先、九品の滝には歩いてお入りください」の看板があります。
そこから徒歩で5分もかからずに滝にたどり着けます。
滝の横を赤い手すりの付いた階段で上がることが出来ます。
キチンとした階段のところもあれば、岩場そのままの感じで水が出ていて足場が悪く滑りやすいところもあります。
雨の後などはさらに滑りやすいと思うので歩きやすく、滑りにくい靴で行きましょう。
特に下りは手すりを掴むなど気をつけて。
