Shiraito waterfall

Otodome Waterfall: The "sound stopping" waterfall is anything but. About 25 meters high and 5 meters wide, it is a thundering torrent. The main stream of the Shiba river flows over the cliff into a deep pool. You often get beautiful rainsbows forming in the midst before you. Mount Fuji is often viewable on the approach.

Shiraito Waterfall: Named the white thread fall, this waterfall is a beauty. Literally thousands of small streams trickle in a large arch from the rocks between the main flows, creating a vast white cascade nearly 200 meters wide (despite the vertical drop being only 25 meters). The stark contrast with the neighbouring Otodome falls is amazing. The water here is from Mount Fuji, flowing down via the Kaotou river. The falls are particularly attractive in spring as the snows of the mountain melt and strengthen the flow.
