Fukuroda Falls
Fukuroda Falls is ranked among Japan’s "Three Great Waterfalls." A visit here will quickly reveal why. The falls cascade over four levels of the rocky cliff face, earning them the nickname "Yodo no Taki" (four-tiered waterfall).
In summer, the cool spray of the rushing water makes the falls a great place to escape the heat. In autumn, the falls are breathtaking when the fiery foliage transforms the surrounding mountains. In the severe cold of winter, the waterfall freezes over in a stunning icy spectacle.
