Otsujigataki Falls
Fukushima

Otsujigataki Falls

This brave waterfall pours across the full width of the Abukuma River in the shape of the kanji character "Otsu" (乙). Due to its powerful appearance, it is often called the "Miniature Niagara." The famous haiku master Matsuo Basho once visited here and praised its scenery in his poetry. With cherry blossoms in spring and irises in early summer, the combination of roaring spray and seasonal flowers offers a refreshing view that blends classical Japanese aesthetics with natural energy.
