게곤 폭포

게곤 폭포는 도치기현 닛코시의 닛코 국립공원에 있는 폭포로 승려 쇼도가 발견하였다고 한다. 불교 경전중 하나인 화엄경에서 연유해 화엄폭포라는 이름이 붙여졌다고는 하지만, 닛코에는 아함폭포, 방등폭포, 반야폭포, 열반폭포도 있어 천태종의 오시팔교에서 따온 것으로 보고 있다.

Kegon Falls

Kegon Falls is located at Lake Chūzenji (source of the Oshiri River) in Nikkō National Park near the city of Nikkō, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. The falls were formed when the Daiya River was rerouted by lava flows. The main falls had a height of approximately 97 metres (318 ft) and about twelve smaller waterfalls are situated behind and to the sides of Kegon Falls, leaking through the many cracks between the mountain and the lava flows.
