Subari Shrine and Fudō Falls

Subari Shrine is a small sanctuary with over a millennium of history, thought to have been established to enshrine a statue of Fudo Myo-o, the fierce Buddhist deity often associated with waterfalls and remote mountains. The current structure follows the gongen-zukuri style, with the worship hall and main sanctuary connected under the same roof. A few minutes' walk west is Fudo Falls, a 30-meter plunge waterfall where a column of water drops through open air to a pool below. The falls are sometimes called Urami no Taki because visitors can stand behind the falling water and look outward, though the wet rocks underfoot require care.
