Shiraito Falls (白糸の滝) 白糸の滝
Hundreds of rivulets pour down 150 m of curved rock: a component of Fuji's UNESCO site.
The waterfall formed where the Shiraito lava flow, coming down from Fuji, meets the sediments of the older Kofuji: rainwater and meltwater, seeping into the porous rock upstream, re-emerge here at several levels along the curved wall. It is one of the components of the UNESCO site ‘Fujisan, sacred place and source of artistic inspiration’ (2013), a national natural monument, and is among Japan's 100 most beautiful rivers/waterfalls (1990 selection).
