河津七滝（かわづななだる）は、静岡県伊豆半島、河津町に位置する美しい滝群で、特に初景滝（しょけいだる）は観光客に人気があります。ここでの「滝（だる）」という読み方は、地元の方言「たる」に由来しています。河津七滝は、7つの異なる滝が連なり、それぞれに独自の名前と特徴があります。初景滝は、高さ10メートル、幅7メートルで、近くにはブロンズ像「踊子と私」もあり、文豪川端康成の『伊豆の踊子』にちなんでいます。
The Kawazu Nanadaru (literally, “Seven Waterfalls of Kawazu”) is a cluster of stunning waterfalls located in Kawazu Town, on the Izu Peninsula of Shizuoka Prefecture. Among them, Shokeidaru is particularly popular with visitors. Interestingly, the word “daru” for waterfall in this context is derived from the local dialect “taru,” which refers to waterfalls in this region. The Kawazu Nanadaru consists of seven waterfalls, each with its own name and unique charm. The Shokeidaru, with a height of 10 meters and a width of 7 meters, is especially notable for its proximity to the bronze statue of “The Dancing Girl and I,” inspired by Yasunari Kawabata’s novel The Dancing Girl of Izu.
