Bat Waterfall

The bat waterfall in Bungo-Ono City, Oita Prefecture, is about 120 meters wide and 10 meters high. It is said that the name came from the fact that when you look at the bat waterfall from above, the shape of the cliff looks like a bat spreading its wings.
You can see the whole thing from the Bat Waterfall Observation deck.
It is a waterfall over the main stream of the Ono River, and in the Meiji era, in order to transport Supplies through boats on the Ono River, a water channel was built to bypass this waterfall and a gutter-like gutter like a slide to raise and lower the boat. The remains of the boatway construction are a very valuable heritage site, and it is also a designated historic site in Oita Prefecture as the "Bat Waterfall Boat Road Site".
