6Hannoki-no-taki, Japan

Hannoki-no-taki, in the Toyama region, is notorious in Japan. Some travel writers compare it to Aun no-no-Taki. At a height of 497 meters high (or 1,640 feet), it is considered by many to not only be one of Japan’s highest waterfalls, but also one of the most dangerous.  

In fact, a number of sources consider it “the most dangerous” waterfall anywhere in the world. The best time to visit is in the fall after the end of the rainy season. For it is then that it is the most beautiful. Stop and see its neighbor, the Shomyo Waterfall too.
