Tatsuzawa Fudo Falls

【The Silence of the Primeval Forest】 A hidden gem waterfall in Inawashiro, 'Tatsuzawa Fudo Falls', where the beauty of the curtain-like scenery cleanses the heart.

Further into the mountains from Nakanozawa Onsen. Walking along the path where tree roots spread out in the dense primeval forest, you will find 'Tatsuzawa Fudo Falls'. Near the waterfall, Fudo Myoo is enshrined, and it has long been known as a sacred site for ascetic practices, making it one of Inawashiro's top power spots.

■ The contrast between the magnificent 'Male Falls' and the graceful 'Female Falls'

The main attraction here lies in the aesthetic beauty created by the contrasting two waterfalls.

• Male Falls: With a height of 10m and a width of 16m, multiple streams of water flow down the black rock face like a curtain. The sight of white spray rising from the moss-covered rocks is as beautiful as a painting.
• Female Falls: This waterfall, quietly standing on the west side of the Male Falls, is characterized by its quiet and modest beauty. Flowing gently amidst deep greenery, it exudes a feminine grace.

■ A natural studio woven by the colors of the seasons and 'moss'

The reason why photography enthusiasts call it a 'sacred place' lies in its overwhelming contrast of colors.

• Perfect harmony: The vibrant green moss covering the rock face, the white of the clear water, and the trees that change color with the seasons. No matter which season you capture, it shows perfect harmony.
• Easy access to a sense of hidden paradise: The charm lies in the accessibility, just a 10-minute walk along a flat path from the parking lot. As you walk, you can feel the increasing negative ions, allowing you to forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy a peaceful time.
