u Pilgrimage for a blessing shower

Yubeng Shenpu (Sacred Waterfalls) 神の滝 神瀑(3650M)


"The Sacred Waterfall - It is said to have been blessed by countless Buddhas. A pilgrimage to this site would not only cure a mute or someone with a speech impediment, but would also relieve a pilgrim of his or her sins. They will then be safe for the rest of their lives. The waterfall also has the power to foretell a pilgrim's fortune. According to local people, if a pious but unfortunate person goes near the waterfall to pray, the waterfall will stop flowing, or the flow will turn into trickles. But when a fortunate pilgrim goes near it, he or she will get drenched all over. So, whenever a pilgrim approaches the waterfall, he or she must first offer incense, so the gods will respond with an auspicious downpour all over one's body."
