Waterfalls in Japan - Waterfalls of Japan

In Japan, there are about 3000 waterfalls, and 517 waterfalls are named waterfalls. Many of these waterfalls are located in remote mountain locations such as Syomyo waterfalls located in the middle of  Japanese Alps.

Japan Waterfalls are sprinkled throughout this mountainous country that sees plenty of snow and cold winter days as well as hot and rainy summer days. The rugged topography has resulted in many different kinds of waterfalls from the percolating wide curtain of Shiraito no taki as well as majestic ones like Kegon-no-taki.

Given the history and Buddhism influence, there are also waterfalls by sacred temples such as Nachi no taki and others fed by the melting snow in the Japan Alps like Shomyo daki and Hannoki no taki. And if that wasn't enough, there are places in the country where Nature has been allowed to thrive such as Daisetsuzan National Park as well as Shiretoko National Park. And in these parks, you can find waterfalls plunging down steep forested gorges like Ginga no taki and Ryusei  no taki as well as a rotemburo (a hot spring waterfall) like Kamuiwakka no taki.
