Mount Ontake
In Kyoto, people douse themselves under Kiyomizu Temple's "Otowa no taki" (Sound-of-Wings) waterfall, although the majority of visitors drink from the waters rather than plunging into them. Every year, many people take pilgrimages to sacred waterfalls, lakes and rivers, either alone or in small groups, to perform misogi. Mount Ontake, the Kii mountain range and Mount Yoshino are but a few examples of ancient and well known areas for Misogi in Japan. In the United States misogi is performed at the Tsubaki Grand Shrine of America at the Konryu Myojin no Taki waterfall each morning.
