Saturday found us at what is labeled as one of the "Top 100 Waterfalls in Japan." Now, I don't know how many waterfalls they actually have here, but this doesn’t seem to be a label of distinction. Nonetheless, Sekino-o Falls is an impressive natural wonder.
It was unusually spectacular on this particular day thanks to the heavy rainfall over the last week or so (obviously, it started pouring upon my arrival in Japan). The water was incredibly high and the roaring river/fall was sending a continuous gust of heavy mist over the entire area. In fact, many sections of the footbridge were closed off due to flooding.
After getting soaked with mist (not that the humidity doesn’t do it to you anyway), we decided to stop in the gift shop and get some green tea ice cream. I have never had to eat ice cream so fast in my life. The minute we walked out the door it was practically melted and all I could do was quickly slurp it up, or risk losing it to the sidewalk (clearly, not an option☺).
