    The key to enjoying Fukiware Falls is to visit without expecting something on the scale of Iguazu Falls in South America, since the water volume is not always high.

    The area around the falls is well maintained and easy to walk, so enjoy not just the waterfall, but also the unusual rock formations and the changing scenery of the river.

    There is a hiking course around the gorge near the falls that takes about an hour, with three observation decks where you can look down on Fukiware Falls from above.

    Along the way, there are souvenir shops with a nostalgic feel, their goods casually and somewhat clutteredly displayed, and it’s the kind of scene that naturally makes you stop and take a look.
