Shiroyama Fudo Falls
A waterfall with a drop of Approx. 15 meters on the mountainside of Shiroyama in Sakaide City, Kagawa Prefecture, also known as a power spot. It got its name from the time Kobo Daishi carved an image of Fudo Myoo into the rock wall during his training. Fudo Myoo is enshrined right beside the falls, and it is also said that ascetic practitioners once trained under the waterfall. Around it, exposed rock surfaces containing sanukite, a mineral unique to Sanuki, create a landscape that evokes the power of ancient times.
The path isn’t hard to walk, and you can get there pretty quickly. The waterfall is small, but the water feels very clean, and it’s nice and cool standing next to it. It’s a great place to come and unwind a bit in the summer. The surrounding area feels foresty, quiet, and a little spiritual, and it’s not the kind of place packed with tourists.
The downside is that it really is on the small side, so after taking a few photos, you’re pretty much done. There also aren’t many other facilities nearby, so it may not be worth coming from far away just for this.
