Onogawa Fudo Waterfall Trail

【Famous Water and Faith Forest】A roaring sound with a drop of 25m. The mysterious 'Ono River Fudo Falls' showered with negative ions.

If you want to touch the roots of the rich water system in Urabandai, the trail to 'Ono River Fudo Falls' is a must. Upstream of Ono River Lake, a pleasant trekking route remains through untouched primeval forests, and suddenly, a magnificent waterfall with a drop of 25m appears. The roaring sound of the waterfall breaking the silence of the forest and the shower of negative ions enveloping your body is truly breathtaking.

■ The dynamism of the seasons created by 'Selected Famous Water' 
The source of this waterfall's water is 'Hyakkan Shimizu', which springs up upstream of the Bandai Plateau. The 'Ono River Spring Water', selected as one of the 'Selected Famous Waters' by the Ministry of the Environment, flows continuously. The unique highlights change dramatically with the seasons. Particularly, from late April to early May, when the snowmelt flows in, the water volume increases to its peak, creating an overwhelming power that shakes the ground. In summer, it brings a cool breeze as a natural air conditioner, and in autumn, it captivates with a stunning contrast of fiery autumn leaves and white water splashes.

■ A power spot deep in the forest where Fudo Myo-o resides 
This place is not just a beautiful scenic spot; it has depth. As the name of the waterfall suggests, 'Fudo Myo-o' has been enshrined here since ancient times. The sacred atmosphere that once surrounded ascetics and practitioners performing rigorous waterfall training still lingers, and standing before the waterfall, you can feel the spiritual energy that mixes awe for nature and deep faith. Experience a special time of purification for both body and mind as you connect with the overwhelming energy of nature.
