Fukuroda Falls

Fukuroda Falls is a famous 120 m high waterfall in Ibaraki. The rocks are naturally created by undersea volcanoes about 15 million years ago. From the First Deck, you can see the waterfall at a close distance. It is breathtaking to see the waterfalls on the four layers of rocks with gushing down. From the new Second Deck created in 2008, you can see the waterfall with the natural landscape around it. You can't miss this mythical waterfall that was created millions of years ago.

Kappa no Yasumi Iwa

When you look at the river running near the waterfall, you see a rock in the middle of the river. It is called "Kappa no Yasumi Iwa" (literally meaning Kappa's resting rock). In fact, this rock is a part of the bottom of the river. This rock stayed intact for more than 17 million years on this spot. It is a mythical place where the legendary creature, Kappa, was said to be taking rest on this spot.

Great view of waterfall and autumn leaves

The best season to see Fukuroda Falls is in autumn when leaves start to change their colors. The leaves of Japanese maples become red or yellow during this season. The white waterfall looks amazing surrounded by these colors. Since you can only see the waterfall with autumn leaves from the beginning to the middle of November, don't miss this precious view.
