The waterfalls of Japan are called “water dragons”, and since there are more than 2000 of them in the country (each of them has a height of at least 3 m), any traveler can, if desired, make a close acquaintance with them.
Kegon
It is located on the Dayagawa River, whose waters fall from a 97-meter height (there are 12 small cascades next to the main stream of the waterfall). It is worth noting that Dayagawa originates from Lake Tyuzen-ji (it was formed by lava flows), and for travelers this place is an attractively developed tourist area (they can find a yacht club, souvenir shops, catering establishments, baths at hot springs).
Tourists are offered to get to Kegon by means of a lift (it will take them to the observation deck), and at its foot they will be able to find a tea house.
Shiraito
With its low height (3 m), the width of Shiraito is 70 m. The best time to admire the waterfall, nicknamed “White Threads,” is in the autumn months (it is worth climbing a small bridge over the river, into which its water jets flow). Tourists are advised to visit it at night, when it is illuminated, and sometimes here you can admire the illumination in the form of "running" lions and deer.
Shiraito stretches along the Shiraito Highland Way toll road (cost - 300 yen); but if desired, the path to it can be overcome along the mountain paths.
Hagoromo-but-taki
The 270-meter waterfall is a magnificent sight: it is formed by two streams that turn into a continuous stream in the middle of the way and fall down, forming 5 cascades. Tourists will get to the waterfall along the eco-path - first it will “lead” them through the forest, and then along the river. To enjoy the view of the water stream, tourists can climb to the observation deck, and those wishing to have a snack can find a picnic area nearby (tables are installed there).
Nati
Its waters fall from a 133-meter ledge into a 10-meter-deep basin (its main stream is surrounded by several dozen jets). Since there is a temple nearby, tourists should explore Nati from its observation deck. It is recommended to be at the waterfall on July 14 - on this day, the Nati fire festival is celebrated here, accompanied by interesting ceremonies.
Fukuroda
The 120-meter waterfall is 73 m wide. Its waters, flowing down stone cascades, form small lakes at each of the 4 steps. Travelers are invited to explore the waterfall from a unique observation deck (a tunnel is cut through the rock and there is an elevator). It is worth planning a visit to it in the winter - at this time, travelers will be able to admire the frozen streams in the form of whimsical white lace. It is worth noting that there are hot springs nearby, so tourists can combine a visit to the waterfall with health improvement.
