One of Japan’s Top 100 Waterfalls, this magnificent 64-meter drop is a highlight of the Okuhida region. In summer, the spray offers a refreshing chill, while autumn surrounds the falls with vibrant red leaves. In winter, the waterfall completely freezes into a giant ice pillar, which is illuminated during the "Ice Festival." It is a powerful natural monument where visitors can feel the dynamic seasonal changes of the Japanese Alps.
