About
[edit]This waterfall, called Ituchan by the local population, is located at an altitude of 1299 m above sea level on the right bank of the Shin river. The main reason why the waterfall is called "Ituchan" by the local population is due to the fact that a shepherd dog fell and died from this road where the waterfall is located.[1]
