Haha no Shirataki Falls

母の白滝

Yamanashi · Chubu

A slender falls on the slope above Kawaguchiko with a small shrine beside the pool, reached by a climb through cedar from the lakeside road. From the clearing just above it the lake and Mount Fuji line up in the same view.

Why it's hidden

Ten minutes' walk past the Fuji Sengen shrine where the coach groups turn around — the path continues and almost nobody follows it.
