Overview
Kama-daru Falls, also known as Kama Falls, is a highlight of the Kawazu Seven Waterfalls (Kawazu Nanadaru) located in Kawazu, Shizuoka Prefecture. This stunning waterfall stands 22 meters tall and 2 meters wide, making it the second-largest of the seven falls. The name 'Kama-daru' (釜滝) translates to 'Cauldron Falls,' derived from the basin's resemblance to the bottom of a Japanese cooking pot.The falls are part of a series of waterfalls formed by the pure waters of the Kawazu River as they descend from the Amagi mountain range. The surrounding landscape showcases the Izu Peninsula's volcanic origins, with striking columnar joints created by cooling lava. These hexagonal rock formations add to the dramatic scenery, making Kama-daru a popular spot for photographers and nature enthusiasts.Visitors can access Kama-daru via a well-maintained hiking trail that connects all seven waterfalls. The trail features wooden stairs and suspension bridges, offering various vantage points to appreciate the falls and the surrounding forest. Be prepared for a refreshing spray, especially when approaching the base of Kama-daru.
