About this place
Uriwari Falls is a waterfall fed by a spring in Wakasa Uriwari Meisui Park in Wakasa, Mikatakaminaka District, Fukui. It was selected as one of the Japan's Top 100 Waters in 1985 (Showa 60), and as Wakasa, a town where one meets radiance and gentleness, it is a representative water among the Top 100 Water Villages. The spring's flow is 4,500 t/day. The water is cold, at 11.7 degrees C, and the falls are called "Uriwari Falls" (melon-splitting falls) from the story that a melon split naturally from the cold. It lies in the forest at the back of the grounds of Tentokuji (Shingon sect), which was opened by the master Taicho.
