A waterfall located in the upper reaches of Nishida River,
which is next to Pinai River where Pinaisara is located. Since the
presence of this falls has not been known very well, it seems not to have
an official name, simply it is called "Nishida Falls" by
repeater customers to Kanpira-so. In Hatoma Island, this is called
"Sangara Falls".
There are two access
methods. First, a method that we walk
a mountain path along Nishida River to the
falls. There is an entrance at the
end of Kaichu-doro (the marine road) from
Funaura Bay toward Ohara, from there walking
a path in which there are not ups and downs
comparatively for about one hour, and arriving
at the fall. But, there are some honeycombs
along the path, once I have had a terrible
experience. The second method is to
use a canoe as the same access to Pinaisara,
from the uppermost reaches where is the limit
to go up with the canoe, we have to walk
to the falls for about 15 minutes.
Further, there can be a somewhat unrealistic
method that we walk along all of the rocky
area in the river to the falls (actually,
Mr. M. I. and Mr. I. A., who are repeater
customers to Kanpira-so, once carried out
that).
Nishidasara is a neat falls with a height of about
3m, on the upper side of the falls, a flat rocky plane spreads, it is the
most suitable for a lunchtime and a rest. Although there used to
be many large freshwater shrimps in deep water and potholes, recently they
have decreased remarkably with regrets.
