Oita Prefecture\u00a0<\/strong>in Kyushu Region\u00a0<\/strong>is commonly\u00a0known as the “onsen prefecture” of Japan with famous hot spring towns like Beppu and Yufuin. But did you know there are other natural delights nestled within this volcanic area? One of which is\u00a0Harajiri Falls\u00a0<\/strong>(Harajiri no Taki,\u00a0\u539f\u5c3b\u306e\u6edd<\/b><\/strong>),\u00a0a\u00a0horseshoe shaped waterfall rated one of Japan’s “top 100 waterfalls”<\/strong>, which sits alongside the ancient Ninomiya\u00a0<\/b>Hachiman Shrine<\/b> (\u4e8c\u5bae\u516b\u5e61\u793e).<\/p>\n

Between some heavy rain showers on a July afternoon,\u00a0I explored both Harajiri Falls\u00a0<\/strong>and Ninomiya Hachiman Shrine <\/strong>to discover\u00a0some of the history<\/strong> and surroundings of this\u00a0beautiful part of Kyushu…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harajiri Falls aka “Oriental\u00a0Niagra Falls”<\/h2>\n

The skies decided to open with torrential rain when I arrived at\u00a0Harajiri Falls<\/a>.<\/strong> Thankfully though, there is a rest area with\u00a0two restaurants<\/strong>, toilet facilities<\/strong> and a shop<\/strong> only a few meters away. So I braced myself for a few minutes before running inside in search of a sturdy umbrella. After finding what seemed to be the sturdiest looking 350 yen umbrella, I prepared to face the torrential downpour that awaited me outside. To my surprise though, the rain had cleared up to review a pale blue sky and the natural\u00a0wonder in front of me…<\/p>\n

\"Harajiri<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Harajiri<\/p>\n

Actually, it seems to be a bit of mystery as to how this 120 meter x 20 meter phenomenon\u00a0appeared.\u00a0One theory is that it formed around 90,000 years ago after\u00a0Mount Aso <\/strong>(in the neighbouring prefecture of\u00a0Kumamoto<\/strong>) erupted.\u00a0<\/strong>This is the theory I’m going with because it makes more sense than the alternative –\u00a0\u00a0that it appeared out of nowhere! Either way,\u00a0Harajiri stands out. It stands boldly in an\u00a0archetypal\u00a0Japanese landscape\u00a0–\u00a0a scattering of rice fields<\/strong>, and mountains<\/strong>. It’s often called the Oritental Niagra Falls<\/strong>, because of it’s horseshoe shape.<\/p>\n

\"Harajiri

Behind the mouth of the waterfall is a tall stone torii gate.\u00a0<\/strong>To the left of the torii, is a tarmaced road which leads up to Ninomiya Hachiman Shrine. <\/strong>You can reach Ninomiya Hachiman Shrine \u00a0by walking this way around the waterfall,<\/strong> or by heading over the wooden bridge which crosses over the waterfall. Either way, its possible to get a 360\u00b0 view of your surroundings.<\/p>\n

Ninomiya Hachiman Shrine<\/h2>\n

Ninomiya Hachiman Shrine<\/strong> was established in 1178 at the end of the Heian Era<\/strong>\u00a0and the beginning of the Kamakura Era<\/strong> by well-known local samurai,\u00a0Mr.<\/strong> Koreyoshi\u00a0<\/b>Ogata<\/b>. Ogata-san\u00a0<\/strong>supposedly chose the location for Ninomiya Hachiman shrine by shooting an arrow, and then building the shrine where it fell. He also used this method for two other shrines:\u00a0Ichinomiya Hachiman Shrine<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/strong>Sannomiya\u00a0<\/b>Hachiman<\/b> Shrine.<\/b><\/p>\n

Getting to Ninomiya Hachiman Shrine<\/strong> from Harajiri Falls<\/strong> is quick and easy. If you head towards the stone torii<\/strong> that sits behind the waterfall, all you need to do is follow the road through another torii gate, and then walk straight up the small hill for about five minutes. Most people that I saw wandering around Harajiri\u00a0decided not to make the walk up towards the shrine, but it’s worth the small trip!<\/p>\n

\"Ninomiya<\/p>\n

I’m not sure whether it was the moss-covered steps,<\/strong> the shrubs\u00a0– which were still dripping with rainfall, or the emptiness of the place that made Ninomiya Shrine particularly eerie. But there was something enchanting about it.<\/p>\n

The shrine<\/strong> has typical shinto<\/strong> elements, such as toro –\u00a0<\/strong>traditional lanterns,\u00a0torii –<\/strong> which mark the transition\u00a0to a sacred space,\u00a0and s<\/strong>himenawa –<\/b>\u00a0enclosing ropes used to protect the sacred area from evil spirits. The\u00a0shrine itself is\u00a0encompassed by towering trees at the entrance of a forest.<\/strong>\u00a0At the entrance of the shrine’s wooden building is a bell, used to attraction the attention of the kami<\/strong> (gods) for prayer.<\/p>\n
