The "Homei Shijuhachi Falls" is a series of variously sized waterfalls cascading down the upper reaches of the Hirose River, and it's one of Sendai's hidden gems. The name "Homei Shijuhachi Falls" is said to derive from the sound of the water, which resembles the call of the legendary bird, the phoenix.

The clear, pristine waters flow through the lush, green forest, offering a different beauty each season. The waterfalls are especially renowned for their autumn colors, when the vibrant foliage beautifully complements the powerful flow of the water. The contrast between the fresh green leaves and the white mist of the waterfalls during the new greenery season is also breathtaking.
