Description
Ono Falls on the Kiso Kaido road plunges through a narrow cleft in the rocks of the Kiso Valley, one of the great mountain waterfalls of Japan, depicted here within the Shokoku Taki meguri (Tour of Waterfalls in Various Provinces) series. The falls drop in several distinct cascades through a gorge that the Kiso Road threads precariously, making the sight an unavoidable spectacle for travelers on the inland highway.
