Shiraito Falls (Itoshima)

白糸の滝

Fukuoka · Kyushu

A 24-metre waterfall on the slopes of Mount Haganeyama in southern Itoshima, its water fanning down the rockface like fine white threads (shiro-ito). The surrounding 'Fureai-no-sato' park has a teahouse, water wheel and observatory. In summer visitors try yamame fishing and flowing somen noodles.

Why we picked it

Tucked high in the hills away from the coastal sights, it is a locals' summer cooling spot rather than a marquee attraction.
