Waterfall Spots in Yamanashi Area

  • Kaneyama Falls
    Travel / Tourism
    Yamanashi Pref. Fujiyoshidashi Kamiyoshida
    Kaneyama Falls, with a 10-meter drop in two streams, is on the upper reaches of the Katsuragawa River, which flows into the Sagamigawa River. Formerly, it was called Kaneyama Pool, because the pool at the bottom of the falls is extremely deep. In the spring, the azalea bloom, and visitors enjoy the fresh greenery in the summer, while the Japanese maples are lovely in the fall. The contrast between these plants and the white foam from the falls is delightful. The falls are located a short walk from the so-called Fujisan Museum (the former Fuji-Yoshida Museum of Local History).
  • Doryu Falls

    Yamanashi Pref. Hokutoshi Oizumichounishide
    This 10 meter-tall, 15 meter-wide waterfall in Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture is located along the Kawamata River Valley. It gained its name from the mysterious way the water falls like silk threads from between the greenery-covered rocks. Notable for having multiple tiers, the falls can be viewed from the Kawamata River Valley hiking trail. The falls are a 15-minute hike from the parking lot.
  • Sengataki Falls
    Travel / Tourism
    Kofu city, Yamanashi prefecture
    This waterfall is one of the highlights of Mt. Ontake's Shosenkyo Gorge in northern Kofu City. It is located at the foot of Kakuenbo Rock in the innermost part of Shosenkyo Gorge. The beautiful waterfall, which is gradually eroding the granite rock face, is visited by many tourists year-round. While the 30 meter-tall falls are impressive during the fall foliage season, it is also well worth a visit after area is covered in snow.

Yamanashi prefecture is the proud home of one of Japan’s most celebrated icons: Mount Fuji. Although the mountain straddles both Yamanashi and Shizuoka, the most breathtaking views of Fuji-san can be seen from the Fuji Five Lakes north of the mountain in Yamanashi prefecture. The plethora of outdoor activities in and around the lakes all have the benefit of the country’s highest mountain as their backdrop, and we can assure you that it is an unforgettable sight.
