| ''Konati Takia'' || Lesser [[w:Nachi Falls|Nachi Falls]]<ref>During Japanese occupation, Japanese Shinto practitioners used the waterfall to perform ''[[w:Misogi|misogi]]''(禊) , a traditional Shinto ritual involving a waterfall. Back in Japan, the [[w:Nachi Falls|Nachi Falls]] are a popular destination to perform ''misogi'' due to it being the waterfall with the longest drop in the country. Thus, in honour of Nachi Falls, Shinto monks called the waterfall on Wuhu Island "小那智滝"(Hepburn: ''Ko-Nachi no Taki''), "Lesser Nachi Falls", due to it being smaller than Nachi Falls by about 30 metres. Although this term was primarily used by Japanese Shinto practitioniers who left the island after Allied liberation in 1945, the term remained popular with Japanese Buddhists, who performed ''sādhanā''(Japanese: 修行, Hepburn: ''shu-gyō'') under the waterfall.</ref>

'''Sea spots'''([[Nawuhu]]: ''Yalmau Kopíai''; ''lit.'' Sea's Spots, Sea's Secret Places) are specific places in the surrounding ocean of Wuhu Island that are mythologically or culturally important in [[Nawuhu mythology]] and Nawuhu folk religion as a whole. The oldest sea spots are rooted in centuries-old mythology: for example, the area that is currently used for wakeboarding by tourists is known as the ''Nojagolókopi''; the supposed grave of the legendary Sea Serpent, ''Nojagolókoa''.
