• Fukuroda Falls

A magnificent waterfall embraced by the vibrant colors of each season—spring, summer, autumn, and winter!

Fukuroda Falls, located on the Takigawa River, a tributary of the Kuji River, is one of Japan's three most famous waterfalls, boasting a height of 120 meters and a width of 73 meters.

Because the waterfall cascades down the large rock face in four stages, it is also known as "Yodo Falls" (Four-Stage Falls), and according to one theory, when the monk Saigyo visited this place long ago,

It is said that this waterfall was praised with the words, "You cannot truly appreciate its beauty unless you visit it once in each of the four seasons."

The lines created by the water flowing down the four-tiered rock face are sometimes as smooth as white threads, and at other times as fierce, revealing a variety of faces.

Spring, framed by the green of newly budding trees; summer, seeking coolness; autumn, when vibrant autumn leaves adorn the waterfall; and winter, when the waterfall freezes over in the harsh cold.

Fukuroda Falls changes its appearance with each passing season.

Many writers and artists once visited this waterfall, which changes with the seasons, and each of them left behind poems praising its beauty.

Autumn foliage season: Typically mid-November to late November (according to the Japan Tourism Promotion Association)

• Hananuki Valley

The view from the Shiomitaki Suspension Bridge, which spans the gorge and is approximately 60 meters long, is magnificent.

Especially in autumn, the branches of the trees growing along the river extend out from both sides of the suspension bridge, creating a magnificent tunnel of colorful autumn leaves.

It has also been selected as one of the "100 Scenic Views of Ibaraki Prefecture" (selected by the Ibaraki Prefectural Tourism Council).
