Rent Life Real Estate Agency, Japan: Shasui Falls (Kanagawa Prefecture)

Shasui Falls and Vermillion Bridge

Located in the village of Ashigarakami in Kanagawa Prefecture, the Shasui Falls are a delightful site steeped in Yamabushi culture among the Japanese mountain ascetic hermits.

The falls are used by the clergy and monks of the nearby Saisho-ji Temple, and is also a holy site for Japanese mountain ascetic hermits. Members of both traditions stand directly under the falls and endure the water striking the head and upper body during a purification ceremony.

If you are staying at a Rent Life property in Yokohama, you can easily access these falls by train and bus!
