This 2.5-meter-high waterfall is filled with cherry blossoms in the spring and cherry salmon jump over the falls from June to August. In Japan, they return to the rivers of the Sea of Japan and northern Japan to spawn. They are very rare in the world, and only a few of them succeed in jumping over waterfalls with their strength, timing, location, and luck on their side.

In June, when the fish begin to jump, their bodies are shining silver, and in August, when the spawning season approaches, they gradually turn cherry red. Then, in September, they finish spawning and, like other salmon, pass their lives on to the next generation.
