Kawazu Seven Waterfalls — Attraction in Kawadu

When I tried checking into the campground, the staff failed to acknowledge my presence. A woman before me asked to borrow two futons, I saw an elderly woman climb up some ancient stairwell and literally throw 2 futons down the staircase. The woman was visibly shocked at the poor treatment of the futons.

After standing around for 20m, the staff finally realised I was in line and trying to get their attention. They offered no apology and proceeded to check me in. The campground was pricer than some hotels I have stayed at.

The campsite I was told to use had was actually already in use and I could not set up my tent. I went back to reception and told them and they gave me a blank look of disbelief and begrudgingly gave me another campsite.

This time the campsite was free, but someone had set up a tent where I was supposed to park my car so I could not park my car. I had to find somewhere else to do so.

I was excited to use the onsen that was advertised; however, groups of mums kept going into the men's onsen with their kids and locking the door. The onsen was in permanent use and I could not use it.

If the campground was already expensive, you have to pay an additional fee to use the shower.

The only good thing about this campground is that it is close to the Nanadaru...

There is a free parking near Visitor center and you can go walk around covering all these 7 falls as a walking course. As sometimes it involves steep climbing steps to approach the falls, it is recommended to take care when climbing with small children or elderly people. The sorrounding atmosphere and shape of each falls is different and walk around these 7 beautiful falls gives different kind of experience at each falls. The height of each falls as follows: Odaru falls - 30m (biggest of the 7 falls); Deaidaru falls - 2m; Kanidaru falls - 2m; Shokeidaru falls - 7m; Hebidaru falls- 3m; Ebidaru falls - 5m and Kamadaru falls - 22m. The four district seasons gives different stunning view at different seasons. The history of Nanadaru falls goes like it was formed by group of volcanoes called Izu Tobu volcano. These are distributed around the eastern side of Izu Peninsula and off-shore Sagami sea. One of the crater in this group is called Noborinami, which erupted around 25,000 years ago; the lava from these volcanoes subsequently formed a lot...

There are seven waterfalls stretching from the Mizudare bus stop (looks like a random stop at the side of the road) down to the Nanadaru tourist center (which is near where ‘Kawazu Nanadaru Waterfall’ is according to Google maps as of 6/1/19, best stop to get off is kawazunanataki bus stop - located in a parking lot). The most impressive is by the mizudare bus stop and they are generally smaller as you walk down, but still beautiful. The best photo spot is at the 4th one from the top (Shokeidaru Falls) which is about halfway between the 2 points. The paths are either paved, a wooden staircase, a wooden bridge, or purposely placed rocks. Most of the path is steep between the Mizudare bus stop and the first waterfall. There are steep parts throughout especially between the 1st and 4th waterfall. I think that for the experience it’s best to start from the bottom to the top since they become increasingly...
