Joren Falls — Attraction in Izu

🏞️ Have you been to Joren no Taki (浄蓮の滝) or Joren Falls? It's one of Japan's loveliest waterfalls. Located in Izu (Shizuoka Prefecture), the falls drops from basalt cliffs 25 meters high and 7 meters wide.

"Downstream from the waterfalls is the Amagi International trout fishing site. Joren Falls is also known for the bright green wasabi plants that grow beside the river, a truly special and refreshing sight. Wasabi is quite picky about its growing conditions. It thrives in cool, shady, misty mountain stream beds near a natural forest canopy. Grown with pure water, Amagi's wasabi has a distinctive flavor."

Quaint shops right by the river sell lots of different wasabi products, which visitors can sample before purchasing. Try the wasabi ice cream!

🚗 At the top of the stairs leading to the waterfall, there's a bus stop, lots of car parking, and a number of souvenir shops with Izu specialties.

The falls are a little bit difficult to get to without a car however it’s worth going if you’re nearby. There’s quite a few steps to get down to the main area and wouldn’t be friendly for those who have difficulty walking (elderly, etc) as it’s quite steep. That said, the fall itself is quite amazing, the water is crystal clear and the air in that area is really refreshing. There’s a little shop/kiosk at the bottom where you can buy gifts and also rent bamboo fishing equipment to try catch trout from the river, I didn’t try but saw another man having a go. You can also see all the fresh wasabi being grown right next to the falls which was amazing to see. Before going down the stairs there’s also a larger gift shop to buy an assortment of gifts as well as various wasabi snacks and wasabi ice cream (and other flavours) with fresh wasabi grated on top! It was...
