Discover more about Ichinokama Waterfall

Ichinokama Waterfall is a captivating natural attraction nestled in the picturesque region of Yamanashi, Japan. This scenic spot is actually a cluster of three powerful waterfalls, the most spectacular of which towers over 20 meters. The waterfall gave the Kamanosato region its name. Each season brings its own unique charm to Ichinokama Waterfall. Sunlight catching the water spray can create rainbows, while around midday, the water in the waterfall's pools sometimes appears a beautiful emerald green. Just after rain, the increased water volume turns things wilder. The autumn foliage of maple, beech and oak trees can also be enjoyed from mid to late October. To reach the highlight of Ichinokama, cross the rope bridge over the Fuefuki River. This takes you right up close to the spectacular, 21-meter-high Otokotaki (“man waterfall”), the intensity of which is a reminder of nature's power. On the right gushes the Kamazawanotaki waterfall, while to the left you will see the smaller Medaki (“woman waterfall”). Visitors can go right near the waterfall and experience its roaring sounds and dynamic splashes of water. The area around the waterfall is well-maintained, with walking paths for leisurely strolls amidst the serene landscape. Observing the waterfall from various vantage points offers a chance to appreciate the sheer beauty of nature and its power.
