Hiryu Falls

Hiryu means “flying dragon” in Japanese, and with a little imagination, one can imagine this two-tiered waterfall in the middle of a lush forest living up to its mythic name. A stream rushes down a 15-meter drop, briefly hits a rock pool, and then plunges downward another 25 meters before disappearing beneath the dense greenery further down the hill. Historical records indicate that Hiryu Falls has been a destination of compelling importance at least since the Kamakura period (1185–1333), when Buddhist priests started using its waters for ascetic training. Standing directly beneath the falls and meditating while the icy waters pummeled their bodies was thought to help purify the mind. Getting to the falls still requires some effort today: a 45-minute hike along a trail from Hatajuku or a 30-minute downhill walk from the Ashinoyu area. Both paths are relatively well marked, but unpaved and often slippery due to the wet terrain.

飛龍之瀑

在綠意盎然的森林中漫步，兩段式瀑布「飛龍之瀑｣即映入眼簾。任由想像力奔馳，便會同意它當之無愧「飛龍｣這一具有神秘色彩的名字。瀑布從15公尺高處傾瀉而下，其水流衝擊岩石間的水潭，繼而飛瀉直下25公尺，直到完全沒入山崖下方的茂密森林中。根據史料記載，早在鐮倉時代（1185-1333），飛龍之瀑就已是佛教僧侶們的修煉聖地。據說只要立於瀑布正下方，承受冷水的衝擊進行冥想，就可以使靈魂得到淨化。時至今日，若想到達飛龍之瀑仍需一番跋涉——從畑宿攀登45分鐘的山徑，或者從蘆之湯地區出發，走30分鐘的下坡路。兩條線路都有相對簡單易懂的指示牌，但由於地處潮濕區域，未經鋪設的道路時常泥濘不堪，容易滑倒。

飞龙之瀑

漫步于绿意盎然的森林中，两段式瀑布“飞龙之瀑”便映入眼帘。任由想象力驰骋，便会认可它当之无愧“飞龙”这一具有神秘色彩的名字。瀑布从15米高处倾泻而下，其水流冲击岩石间的水潭，继而飞泻直下25米，直至完全融入山崖下方的茂林中。据史料记载，早在镰仓时代（1185-1333），飞龙之瀑便已是佛教僧侣们的修炼圣地。据说只消站在瀑布正下方，沐浴冷水的冲击进行冥想，就可以使灵魂得到净化。时至如今，抵达飞龙之瀑仍需一番跋涉——从畑宿攀登45分钟的山路，或者从芦之汤地区出发，步行30分钟的下坡路。两条线路都有相对简明易懂的标示牌，但由于地处多湿区域，未经铺设的道路时常泥泞易滑。
