Tatsuzawa Fudotaki

[The Silence Resonating in the Primeval Forest] A hidden gem waterfall in Inawashiro, "Tatsuzawa Fudo Falls," that cleanses the heart with its beautiful curtain-like appearance.

Further into the mountains from Nakanozawa Onsen, you will find "Tatsuzawa Fudo Falls" (達沢不動滝) after walking along a path where tree roots spread out in the dense primeval forest. Near the waterfall, Fudo Myoo is enshrined, and it has long been known as a place of ascetic training, making it one of Inawashiro's top power spots.

■ The Contrast of the Majestic "Male Falls" and the Graceful "Female Falls"

The highlight here is the artistic beauty created by the contrasting two waterfalls.

• Male Falls (おだき): With a height of 10m and a width of 16m, multiple streams of water cascade down the black rock face like a curtain. The sight of white splashes rising from the moss-covered rocks is as beautiful as a painting.
• Female Falls (めだき): 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 with Seasonal Colors 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 all create a perfect harmony, no matter which season you capture.
• Easy Access to a Sense of Seclusion: The charm also lies in the accessibility, just a 10-minute walk on a flat path from the parking lot. You can feel the increasing negative ions as you walk, allowing you to forget the hustle and bustle of daily life and enjoy a peaceful time.
