It is a rare viewpoint where visitors can enjoy a clean, open composition of tea fields and Mt. Fuji without many visible power lines, making it especially popular for photos. The area is usually open as a free scenic tea garden, and the peaceful landscape offers a refreshing introduction to Shizuoka’s tea culture and the natural beauty around Mt. Fuji.

  Otodome Waterfall

  Located just a short walk from Shiraito Falls, Otodome Falls is a powerful, single-drop waterfall plunging 25 meters into a rocky gorge. The name "Otodome" means "Sound Stopping," referring to a local legend where the thundering roar of the waterfall suddenly ceased during a dramatic samurai tale. Unlike the gentle curtain of Shiraito, Otodome offers a more intense and dynamic natural spectacle, making the contrast between the two falls a memorable experience.
