New York State Park Police say the body was spotted around 10am on Thursday by an employee at the Cave of the Winds, a tourist attraction on the American side of the falls. The discovery was made three days after searchers looking for the woman found the body of a man from Hamilton, Ontario, who had been reported missing.
Officials say the woman's body has been taken a Buffalo hospital for autopsy and identification.
Canadian police say the Japanese woman was visiting the Canadian side of the falls on Sunday night when she climbed onto a railing along the river and fell in near the brink of the falls.
