Standing at the foot of Mount Fuji, it has an elusive presence. When it rains, the "Kurosaka Waterfall" appears for a moment, offering an experience of the mystery of nature.
The Kurosaka Waterfall was once revered as a place of mountain worship for ascetic practitioners. This area is also known as the birthplace of Mount Fuji worship called "Fuji-kou," and it is said that people once flocked here seeking the spiritual power of the waterfall. The divine atmosphere of this area, along with numerous traces of ascetic practices, still remains to this day.
The grand waterfall with a 45-meter drop seems to come from a fairy world. However, the mystery of this waterfall lies in the fact that it withers away if it doesn't rain. While being overwhelmed by the pouring water, you can enjoy the rare sight that can only be seen for a moment.
The mountain trail leading to the waterfall, away from the promenade, becomes a true trekking route. Entering through the woods and passing through rocky terrain, the adventure is exhilarating. Solid equipment and physical strength are essential. However, the value of the scenery that awaits at the end should be well worth it.
The nearest transportation is the Fujimi-guchi Station. If you have a car, you can park near the "Ashizawa Poultry Farm" along Route 24. Walk for about 15 minutes from there, and you will reach the junction to the waterfall. There is no need to worry about business hours or entrance fees, but it is only possible to view the waterfall on rainy days.
Despite the fear of nature's threats, you can still experience the mystery of the "Kurosaka Waterfall." After the rain, why not make a stop? A refreshing feeling awaits at the sight of the waterfall scenery, a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.
