Kuroyama Santaki ("The Three Waterfalls of Black Mountain") is a small tourist attraction situated in the hills. The waterfalls are selected as one of Japan’s 100 Fine Waterfalls.The largest is the Tengu waterfall with the height of 20 meters. Being a little away from the other two waterfalls, it flushes down gallantly in a straight form. The name “Tengu” derives from the legend that a tengu used to lived in this holy mountain.
The Otaki and Metaki waterfalls compose one staircase waterfall in a zigzag flow. The Otaki has 10 meters in height and the Metaki 5 meters. Each has the plunge pool and flows down in unity. The Otaki Waterfall has a firm appearance while the Metaki Waterfall looks elegant.

I found this while looking for views of Saitama to share with my students. I am familiar with the Chichibu Mountain area but I have never been here. I want to come back to this to check the information in more detail. Thanks for posting this.
