Like Iguassu and Niagara, there are a lot of beautiful waterfalls all over Japan.
This Ukiyo-e is one of Journey to the Waterfalls series in All the Provinces by Hokusai.

"Aoigaoka" where daimyos have lived in was located near Edo castle.
It is not a large waterfall.
Hokusai painted splash in a pointillist manner.
The brushwork might remind us impressionist school.
And contrast of rippling wave and calm surface stunning.
By the way, in Japan waterfalls are not just scenic places but the places for ascetic training like those Ukiyo-e!

You can talke part in such Takigyo, also called waterfall meditation in Japan!
Mt. Takao located in the west of Tokyo accepts disciplinants.
It's an hour train ride away from JR Shinjuku station and then a 15min cable car ride to the waterfall.

The aim of this ascetic training is to clear your mind of all thought.
Mt. Takao is also famous a popular destination for hikers.
So I think you can enjoy going to Mt. Takao even without waterfall meditation.
