Walk through a forest filled with cool air, and head for the waterfall. At the end of a path under moss-covered trees, there's a beautiful, seven-tiered waterfall that spans 62 meters. The water crashing down from up high has created a hole (pothole) called a moulin.
There's a legend that Abe no Seimei, an expert in Japanese sorcery and divination, underwent ascetic training here around the year 1,000. The place is famous for being a spiritual spot that houses a power not visible to the eye. Atera no Nanataki has also been selected as one of Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls and is a veritable oasis of nature trails.
