Otomeno Falls 乙女の滝
乙女の滝 Free parking and entrance

I recommend visiting the other shops nearby (Kumo-Izu Nasu shop 雲IZU or Candy Castle Nasu Heartland お菓子の城 那須ハートランド) instead, as they offer free parking and free dry ice with your purchase. This way, you can enjoy the same experience without having to pay...
