Information on sightseeing spots around Shiraito Falls, Otodome Falls, and Lake Kawaguchi. This is a recommended spot on days when you feel like you can't see Mt. Fuji even though you came all the way because of the bad weather. The description is from the local tourist guide.
Shiraito Falls
Shiraito Falls, which spans the entire curved cliff with a height of 20 meters and a width of 150 meters, is mostly fed by spring water from Mt. Fuji, with the exception of a portion of the main waterfall. Being surrounded by negative ions will definitely boost your power! Flowing like white silk threads between the rock walls, it is worthy of its name, feminine beauty, and gentle scenery, carrying a crisp, cool breeze to the surrounding area. It is said that the water temperature is 12°C throughout the year, and 1.5 tons of spring water flows out every second.
Otome Falls
Otodome Falls is a magnificent waterfall that stands in contrast to Shiraito Falls. This waterfall makes a roaring sound from a 25 meter high cliff. A long time ago, when the Soga brothers were discussing how to avenge their father's enemy, Kudo Suketsune, their voices were interrupted by the sound of a waterfall, so they prayed to God for a while, and the sound of the waterfall stopped momentarily. The name remains.
There are many souvenir shops around the area.

Lake Kawaguchi is one of the places where you can see Mt. Fuji most beautifully. By using a car or motorcycle, you can see scenery that no one has ever seen before. It's good to visit famous spots that are crowded with people, but we also recommend quietly gazing at Mt. Fuji from an empty lakeside.
