A Visit to a World Heritage Waterfall: Facing the Snowmelt from Mount Fuji — Shiraito Falls
“Shiraito Falls” features hundreds of waterfalls, large and small, cascading down a curved cliff face measuring 20 meters high and 150 meters wide. Composed almost entirely of spring water from the snowmelt of Mount Fuji, 1.5 metric tons of clear water per second flows over the rock face at a constant temperature of 12°C throughout the year. Designated as a National Scenic Spot and Natural Monument, it is also a component part of the Mount Fuji World Cultural Heritage Site. Standing at this site—which has been a place of pilgrimage for the Fuji-kō religious group since the Warring States period—you can feel the overwhelming power of Mount Fuji with your whole body through the water.
