Tourist attraction • Mitake, Kiso, Kiso District, Nagano 397-0101, Japan
In a quiet valley surrounded by the Kiso mountains, there is a place called Fuefuki Falls. This waterfall, just as its name suggests, has maintained its beautiful appearance unchanged for a long time. In the clear air, the splashing water creates a mysterious atmosphere as if you have strayed into another world.
Deep in the Fuefuki Falls, there is a large cave that creates an exquisite contrast of light and shadow. This eerie cave, located behind the waterfall, is deeply associated with ancient legends. There is a story that a monk who was practicing here was saved by a Buddha from an attack by a monstrous creature. This legend has been passed down through the ages.
To reach Fuefuki Falls, you need to climb a slightly steep staircase after passing the Salamander Falls, but there is a well-maintained promenade, so you can easily walk. There is an observation deck in front of the waterfall, where you can feel the power of the waterfall up close. In addition, there are small pools and streams along the river, perfect for a leisurely stroll.
The sacred air emanating from the majestic mountains and the pure sound of flowing water emitting negative ions. Fuefuki Falls can truly be called a healing power spot where you can refresh your mind and body. The time spent in this tranquility, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, is sure to be an unforgettable experience.
