The plaque with the name of the Waterfall tells a sad legend (From the old tale of Sakuma)

It is said that a samurai named Magobei Hida, defeated in the Battle of Nagashino, arrived at Shimodaira village with his wounded body and was cared for by a father and daughter named Ogin, who completely healed his battle wounds, and he decided to stop to be a samurai and started to live in the village as a farmer. However, one day a hunter warrior appeared and he became a samurai again.

Ogin who was left by her beloved Magobei, threw herself from the waterfall while holding the wedding dress that she herself had woven. After that, it is said that there was a man playing the shakuhachi sadly for a long time at the waterfall.
