Fukiware Falls (吹割瀑)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A natural monument waterfall known as the "Niagara of the East," where water rushes down as if splitting through a 30-meter-wide, 7-meter-high rocky cliff. Walking the trail, the roaring sound and nearby water spray are spectacular. During fresh greenery and autumn foliage seasons, the entire gorge is beautifully colored and perfect for photography.

Tips

The walking trail is wet and slippery with some sections without railings, so always hold a child's hand. A baby carrier is safer than a stroller. Wear shoes suitable for walking.

Best time to visit

Allow 60–90 minutes. Watch for winter trail closures
