We found these amazing waterfalls, in our subsequent explorations, after failing to see Mt Fuji due to cloud cover (we only rented a car for one day during our stay in Tokyo).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The falls are located in the small town of Tsuru which had narrow streets lined with picturesque homes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The path was misty, lush, and noisy – gurgling water, buzzing cicadas, and chirping birds.

Our walk was punctuated by several trickles of small waterfalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The falls are fed by two springs that ultimately originate at Mt Fuji; they fall into the Hishakunagare River.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The path ends at the main attraction – Taro Jiro Falls. Legend states that the falls were named after two outlaw brothers (Taro and Jiro) who jumped to their deaths when police caught up with them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
