Shiraito Falls

Today we finally made it out to Shiraito Falls in Yamanashi.

We had thought about going a year ago, but they were doing some improvements and it was closed, so we finally decided to go and check it out over breakfast this morning.  

There are actually two main falls here.  

The first, Otodome Falls, reminds me a lot of Wailua Falls on Kaua'i.




Here's a picture of Wailua Falls on a fuller day...


Is it just me?

The main attraction is Shiraito Falls. It's basically a weeping wall.

Apparently there is one in Karuizawa as well, but this one is much bigger than that one.

It was soon beautiful and the pictures definitely don't do it justice at all.
