Fukuroda Falls
Fukuroda Falls is one of Japan's three major waterfalls, located in Daigo Town, Ibaraki Prefecture. It boasts a height of approximately 120 meters and a width of about 73 meters, and is also known as "Yodo no Taki" for its flow of water cascading in four stages. During the autumn foliage season, visitors can enjoy the stunning waterfall from the first observation deck and the beautiful contrast of the colorful leaves and the waterfall from the second observation deck, with the best viewing time around November 10. In winter, the falls freeze, creating spectacular ice formations. The Heian-period poet Saigyo also praised its beauty, which changes with each passing season. Make sure to pass through the Fukuroda Falls Tunnel and soak in the breathtaking views from the observation decks.
