Nikko National Park is a charming tourist destination adorned with magnificent natural landscapes and rich history. Among them, Tentake Shirataki is a must-see popular spot. Although it is modestly hidden behind Kegon Falls, its magnificent scenery overwhelms the viewers.
Tentake Shirataki, flowing down from the distant mountains, boasts a first-class stream beauty with a height of about 25 meters.
