- Toyama Pref. Nakanikawaguntateyamamachi Ashikuraji
- With water crashing down from a height of 350 meters and sending up a mass of spray, Shomyo Falls—the highest waterfall in Japan—is an impressive sight. When the flow of water in the rivers increases, another waterfall (Hannoki Falls) appears to the right of Shomyo Falls, and when the flow is really high several other, smaller waterfalls also appear nearby, which makes for a truly amazing spectacle. Hannoki Falls can only be seen in spring, when the snow-melt from the Tateyama mountain range leads to an increased flow of water.

- This 130-meter-tall waterfall drops from a cliff near Tengudaira. The thin, white waterfall resembles somen noodles, hence its name. A spectacular view of the falls can be enjoyed from the Bijodaira Tenku Road Somen Falls Observation Platform. Upriver from the falls is Jigokudani (hell valley), and downriver is Shomyo Falls.

- "This waterfall is located in Inotani, Toyama City. Situated on the lower reaches of the Inotani River, it actually consists of two waterfalls, individually known as Jabami Falls and Goshoku Falls - together, they are also known as the ""Husband and Wife Falls"" and the ""Great Falls."" The waterfall's name literally means ""Ever Rainbow"" and is derived from the fact that it appears rainbow in the morning."

- Toyama Nakaniikawa-gun Tateyamamachi Ashikuraji Bunazaka Tono 11 Kokuyurin
- This waterfall is on the right cliff of Shomyo valley, a national Place of Scenic Beauty and National Natural Monument. This waterfall only appears in the snowmelt season, and at 500 meters is taller than Shomyo falls.

Hannoki falls is only visible for a short time, so be sure to catch it!

Toyama Areas
Toyama is one of the three prefectures that house the Japanese Alps, with its southern and eastern borders comprising one long stretch of mountains, out of which the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is forged. While traditional crafts fill the northern coastal cities of Toyama and Takaoka, thatched roof houses offer unrivalled views against a backdrop of fantastic scenery at Gokayama in the mountainous area in the south of the prefecture.
