10 minutes taxi ride from JR Gotenba Line's "Yamakita"
station takes you to beautiful Shasui no Taki water fall.
This remarkable fall attracts many tourists all year long
for the splendor of its view in a glen with countless trees.
At the upstream of "Sakawagawa River", the fall
has height of 120m which breaks down to three parts. It is
a great place to escape from summer heat as sole glance of
the scenery seems to bring refreshing cool air to those at
the site.
By the walkway to the fall, a water spout space is set up
for water enthusiasts who take it for drinking, making teas,
or cooking.
The fall is also known as a place for ascetic practices by
Kamakura-era priests who beat themselves by the fallen water.
