On our way to see a famous waterfall we saw a hand-made wooden sign with excited red lettering pointing to a waterfall we'd never heard of. It was only a little detour, so we decided to take a look.

| The waterfall itself was impressive, but look at the ruins! Like an abandoned cathedral... Christianity has a long history in Kyushu (there's a statue of Francis Xavier outside the prefectural government offices), but it seemed an unlikely explanation. We climbed down to take a closer look. |
 |
| Braving some fallen trees and slippery rocks, we found we could actually go inside. |
 |
| I wish the photo showed how lush the green really was. |
In fact, the ruins were of an old hydro-electric station, but no less beautiful for their utilitarian past.

| Soy milk and sesame nabe for dinner~ perfect end to a rainy day of exploring and a goodbye to a much-missed sister. |
