Shiraito Falls, located near Mount Fuji in Fujinomiya, Japan, is a breathtaking natural wonder that captivates visitors with its ethereal beauty. The falls are named “Shiraito,” meaning “white threads,” due to the hundreds of thin streams of water cascading down a 20-meter-high cliff, creating a mesmerizing curtain-like effect. Surrounded by lush greenery and offering multiple viewing platforms, Shiraito Falls provides a serene and picturesque escape. The tranquil atmosphere, combined with the stunning backdrop of Mount Fuji, makes it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and photographers alike

Our family trip to Shiraito Falls was enchanting. Nestled near Mount Fuji, the falls' delicate, thread-like streams cascading over the wide cliff left us in awe. We hiked scenic trails, enjoyed the lush greenery, and captured the breathtaking beauty of the waterfalls. The serene atmosphere made it a perfect family outing, creating lasting memories.
Next, we're heading to Hakone. Known for its hot springs, stunning views of Mount Fuji, and the scenic Hakone Ropeway, it's an ideal destination. We plan to visit the Hakone Open-Air Museum, relax in an onsen, and take a cruise on Lake Ashi. The blend of natural beauty and cultural attractions promises another unforgettable family adventure.

Shiraito Falls in Japan
#japantrip Have you visited Shiraito Falls in Japan? It's about 2 and a half hours, driving, from Yokosuka. It's Japan's widest waterfall!
📍 273-1 Kamiide, Fujinomiya,
Shizuoka 418-0103
"Shiraito Falls is one of the most famous waterfalls in the world. This waterfall is caused by meltwater from Mount Fuji gushing out from the cliff at the boundary between the upper layer, the Shin-Fuji Volcanic Formation, which allows water to pass through, and the lower part, the old Fuji Volcanic Formation, which does not allow water to pass through. Hundreds of waterfalls, large and small, cascade down from a curved cliff 20 meters high and 150 meters wide.
Its appearance is worthy of the name Shiraito (little threads)as it appears to be dripping with many threads of silk. It has a gentle, feminine beauty, and when you stand near the basin of the waterfall, the water arches on three sides create a fantastical world."
It's a National scenic spot and Natural Monument in Japan. Next to Shiraito Falls, there is also beautiful, large, Otodome Falls. We followed signs by the falls to a Nature Park and stumbled upon a large playground as well.
🚗 Plenty of parking available for visitors.
The paths to the falls are paved with many stairs to get down to the falls. There are souvenirs, cafes, shops and bathrooms next to the parking lot. Plus many great photo spots!
