Originally, Nachi Falls was the general name for all the waterfalls in Mount Nachi, especially the 48 waterfalls used for cage waterfall practice (Nachi Forty-Eight Falls). The commonly known Nachi Falls specifically refers to the waterfall of one, also known as Nachi Falls. And because the rock where the water falls is divided into three streams, it is also called the Three Waterfalls. It has been a place of practice for Buddhism and Shinto since ancient times.
