Hello 😃 This time I went to Fukiware Falls in Gunma Prefecture ✨✨ My senior lives in Gunma and took me there! I saw a waterfall with a whirlpool in the middle of the river! The splashes and sounds were amazing and it was overwhelming! I also had some local beer and got drunk 🥴💥 I also had some apple ice cream! My senior, whom I met for the first time in a while, had lost a lot of weight but I'm glad he seems to be doing well! #breathtakingview #gourmettrip #gourmet #Gunmatourism #Tokyotourism #drive

#Fukiwarenotaki #Gunma #Numata I came to Fukiwarenotaki in Numata, Gunma Prefecture. The feature of this waterfall is not the volume of water or the height of the waterfall, but the gentle waterfall that can be seen from close up. As you can see in the photo, the drop is not so high, but the water still splashes quite a bit. Also, if you go a little further from the waterfall, you can see a magnificent river. I think the river is Katashina River, but if you know the river, please let me know in the comments. I rented a car from Jomo-Kogen Station on the Joetsu Shinkansen and visited the area. There are many parking lots nearby that say "this is the closest parking lot to the waterfall", which can be confusing, but you can get there quickly from any parking lot around the map, so there is no need to rush. This place also appeared in the opening of the taiga drama "Aoi Tokugawa Sandai". #Breathtakingview

#Japan Attractions Fukiwara Falls (吹切の滝) is an open waterfall located in Numata City, Gunma Prefecture, Japan. It is a nationally designated scenic spot and natural heritage site in Japan. According to a list published by Japan's Ministry of the Environment in 1990, it is one of the "Top 100 Waterfalls in Japan". The waterfall is located in the upper reaches of the Katashina River and is 7 meters high and 30 meters wide. The Katashina River forms a canyon at the confluence of the Hikawa River upstream and the Kurihara River downstream, which is called Fukiwara Gorge. But as far as we know, this is just a hook. The falls were formed by a massive pyroclastic flow caused by a volcanic eruption 9 million years ago, creating a tuff cliff with rivers flowing from three sides of the cliff. It is called the "Niagara of the East" by the Numata City Tourism Bureau. Downstream of the waterfall, the riverbed is bumpy, with the longest axis reaching up to six to seven meters, and there are two smaller waterfalls. Due to the large amount of water in the past, the cliff face has been severely eroded by water and is currently retreating about seven centimeters per year upstream. The prologue of the 2000 NHK blockbuster, the Japanese historical TV series "The Three Generations of Tokugawa Aoi", was filmed at Fukiwara Falls. Although the waterfall is not large, or even small, it is worth a visit because of its unique landform. #OverseasTravel #Japan #JapanTravel #JapanTravelStrategy #JapanTour #JapanPhotography #GunmaPrefecture #Waterfall
