8Shomyo-Daki, Japan 

The previously mentioned Shomyo-Daki, like its neighbor Hannoki-no-taki, can be found in the town of Tateyama, in the Toyama Prefecture. It is officially the highest waterfall in Japan. It is 350 meters high (or 1,148 feet). These falls actually have four separate stages.

 

The first is70 meters high. The second is 58 meters. The third is 96 meters and the final is 126 meters. The best time to visit is between early and mid-summer. That’s when the snow up in the Tateyama Mountains melts. The lake at the very bottom is over 6 meters deep.
