Japan 2017 - Day 3

Day trip to Karuizawa

Arrived at 9am


Took a #2 bus to Shiraito Falls, Fujinomiya Shizuoka Prefecture (710yen 1-way)

It is labeled as a Japanese Natural Monument, part of Hakone-Iza National Park 






Shiritao no Taki literally means the waterfall of white threads, multiple streaks of water drape over the surface forming a white curtain.

The mountain slopes above the waterfall contain a volcanic stratum on which groundwater flows before surfacing here.

It measures 3m high and 70m wide, located in the forests north of downtown Karuizawa
