Located in Daigo, Ibaraki, Fukuroda Falls is renowned for its four-tiered cascade, standing at an impressive height of 120 meters and stretching 73 meters wide. The sheer force of the water as it tumbles down the rugged cliff creates a mesmerizing spectacle, particularly during the lush greenery of spring or the vibrant foliage of autumn.

The viewing platforms strategically placed around the falls offer panoramic vistas, allowing visitors to marvel at the mesmerizing flow from different angles. The sound of rushing water and the refreshing mist that caresses your skin add to the immersive experience.

It is always a pleasure to visit this nice waterfall far away from the hustle and bustle of cities in Kanto region. Though famous for freezing completely once in a decade, I have never seen it freeze beyond 70% (figure taken from the official website).

Do not expect a jaw dropping view from above. To access this route you need to cross the bridge close to the main viewing platform and just keep climbing the stairs on the left after the bridge. I was sweating in February winter and will not recommend it in Summers.

A note on the parking space. Assuming you visit this place by a car, note that there is a free parking lot approximately 15 minutes walking distance from the entrance to the falls.

If you want to park your car close to the entrance, then look for a place that will not charge you for parking if you eat/drink(which you will want to after the climb) from their shop. The signs are in Japanese though and not very...

#Kenny's Tour Day n Nigh' I took guests from Shanghai to one of the popular resorts in North of Tokyo. This is No.17 ... really one of the #Kenny's Best Kept Secrets, Fall of Fukuroda in Ibaragi pref., driving 170km for 3 hours from Tokyo, which I wouldn't disclose to other people except for you. Falls lighted up at around 5pm. in November is so mystical under and surrounded by Autumn leaves ... you can't miss it ! Walking along river from the falls, you will realize that you are in the middle of silence with slight of notes of the current, as if they're various kind of instruments. I recommend you to stay overnight at Ryokan, a traditional Japanese Inn, near the falls as it's easy to access the falls. The Ryokan we stayed gave us tickets to go through a tunnel and lift to sightseeing points. Please come and feel the falls once in your life. That's really ! Vale la...
