With a circumference of 4.3 km and a water storage capacity of 1.05 million tons, Tashiro Pond provides irrigation water to hydrate a wide area of farmland and also serves as a space to cool down in the summer and view lovely autumn foliage in late fall.

夏でも涼しい紅葉の名所

A Scenic Fall Foliage Spot That's Also Cool in Summer

A great place to visit on hot days when you want to stay cool, Shirafuji Falls is also a popular spot for autumn foliage, where sceneries of green Japanese maple trees and the waterfall are popular among photographers. There is a red bridge along the mountain path that lets visitors view the waterfall from a variety of angles.
The roaring and splashing of the water is incredibly powerful when experienced up close. You may be tempted to watch the falls for a long time, but be warned that the temperature in the vicinity of the waterfall basin is low, so you may get cold if you stay there for too long.

地元に語られる伝説の地

A Place of Legends Told by the Locals

In fall the entire Takiyama Valley turns red with fall foliage, especially Shirafuji Falls, which boasts a 15-meter drop. While this waterfall once was 30 meters high, a flood in the Meiji Era (1868-1912) destroyed the mouth of the waterfall, making it its current height of 15 meters. Legend has it that, a long time ago, a brave warrior named Sadatsugu killed a giant lizard nearly 6.6 meters tall at Shirafuji Falls. The deity Fudo Myoo is also enshrined nearby.

白藤滝

夏には凉を求める人々、秋には紅葉を楽しむ人々で賑わう。
白藤滝は、もともと30mほどの高さがありましたが、明治29年8月の大洪水により、滝口が決壊、滝壺も埋没して現在の15mとなりました。近くには不動明王が祀られ、夏には凉を求める人々、秋には紅葉を楽しむ人々で賑わっています。
また白藤滝には次のような伝説が残っています。昔、定次という武勇者がお供の者を連れて滝口に座り、鹿を待ちかまえていた。突然「ザーッ」と音がして、怪しい物が目の前に現れ、鉄砲を打ち放ったところ、倒れていたのは二丈(6.6m)もある大トカゲだった……。

別名『伊賀富士』

The "Mount Fuji of Iga"

The mountain viewed from Iga-Ueno Castle looks small because it is located on the southernmost border of Iga, but its shape resembles that of Mount Fuji, which is why it is nicknamed the Mount Fuji of Iga.
There are numerous Fuji-esque mountains throughout Japan. Iga is also home to other cone-shaped mountains, such as Mount Nangu in Ichinomiya, which is nicknamed “Little Fuji”.
