Fukiware Falls
Fukiwari Falls is a magnificent waterfall that boasts a height of about 7 meters and a width of 30 meters. It gets its name from the appearance of a huge rock that seems to have been split apart due to the erosion of the softer parts of the bedrock, creating numerous fissures. Known as the "Niagara of the East," its majestic form combines raw power and beauty as it splashes dynamically in the midst of nature. There are well-maintained walking paths around the waterfall, and visitors can enjoy the falls from various angles via suspension bridges and observation decks. The charms of each season are not to be missed, from the dynamic flow of melting snow in spring, lush greenery in summer, to the autumn colors in fall.
