Kanabiki Waterfall
This is the Kanabiki waterfall in the hilly outskirts of Miyazu, a small town in the northern part of Kyoto Prefecture. The only waterfall in Kyoto Prefecture to make the list of the 100 best waterfalls in Japan, Kanabiki waterfall is beautiful and refreshing and plays host to a bi-annual fire festival in the last weekend of July when the waterfall is spectacularly set on fire to the sounds of pounding drums and dancing priestesses.
Koto Falls
Koto Falls is one of the other famous waterfalls in Kyoto Japan that is 40 meters tall. The water falls down in 13 strings which led to the name of this beauty.
