Sendantodoro-no-taki, a 65- meter waterfall is
found in one of the most isolated sections of Japan. In this
rugged area, the only means of transportation for centuries was by
foot over mountain trails and hanging bridges. In this area,
Gokanosho, live the descendents of the Heike whose ancestors fled
here from the Genji after the battle of Dan-no-ura, near Shimonoseki.
Old samurai armor from the time is still kept by these families.
The area also has many minshuku, a type of lodging with a family,
that specialize in providing guests with food gathered from the mountains,
including venison and wild boar.
