What to expect

Fudo Falls has been selected as one of Japan’s Top 100 Waterfalls. The Otaki (Male Falls) is also known as a waterfall that can be viewed from behind. With a drop of approximately 37 meters, the waterfall does not have an especially large volume of water, but it offers beautiful scenery throughout the four seasons. As the falling water gently sways in the wind, it can look like softly drifting snow.

The plunge pool is small and relatively shallow, making this waterfall meditation experience suitable even for first-time participants.
