What other travelers are saying about Fukiware Falls
A set of stunning waterfalls! It's a bit out of the way, but it was definitely worth it; especially with 30°C weather. The water is very clear, and the walkway is literally next to thr waterfall. The only way to get closer is by falling in.
Aside from the path right next to the waterfall, there's also a path along a pair of bridges, leading around to the other side of the river. Plenty of parking nearby as well, but all of it is paid parking; our parking spot was 500 yen.
Fukiware Falls is a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and those seeking a serene escape from urban life. Its dynamic beauty, coupled with accessible trails and nearby attractions, makes it a perfect day trip or weekend getaway. Whether you're capturing the misty cascades on camera or simply soaking in the tranquil ambiance, Fukiware Falls promises an unforgettable experience.
Spectacular and unique slot canyon falls, especially in the autumn foliage. The hiking loop was worth it (go anti-clockwise) and provided various views of the falls. Took about an hour to go around maybe 2-3 km.
Very nice and unique falls in the nature. Around 15 minutes from Kawaba City. Also not too crowded. You also can do a round hike for around 30 minutes - 1 hour.
You can park very closely for only 500 yen. No entry cost.
So if you like nature and water, definitely recommended! Also around 2-3 hours from Tokyo.
Nice walk around the impressive falls, rapids and whirlpools. The river has a strong current, and the geological formations were interesting to observe. There is a walking circuit, but it was partially closed, so we walked back and forth to the parking lot.
There are no rails, so be careful when walking as the water and mist can make the rocks slippery.
