“Looks lame, but it isn't!”

At first glance from the tea shop, these falls are a disappointment. And maybe they are. But! if you follow the path at the back of the tea-house and climb up the hill, it gets waaaaaaay better. There are multiple smaller falls along the river, which itself is beautiful. If you walk all the way up to the bridge, you have one of the best views I have ever seen in Japan. You can see the majority of the river, along with lake Chuzenji and the mountains. It's amazing! If you follow the river further up it leads you into a serene forest, which has many photo opportunities. All in all, check this place out. Its super rad!
