Fukiware Falls

吹割の滝

Gunma · Kanto

A 7m-tall, 30m-wide waterfall on the Katashina River in Numata where the riverbed has split into a dramatic gorge, nicknamed the 'Niagara of the East'; designated a national Place of Scenic Beauty/Natural Monument and one of Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls.

Why it's hidden

Well known domestically but almost absent from foreign-language itineraries; a genuine roadside-gorge hidden-gem fit for our brand.
