    Akita Akita-shi Kawabe Iwami
    A waterfall located in Ushiromata, Kawabeiwami, Akita City. The waterfall is notable for its short drop and abundant water flow. A walking path is maintained in the area and visitors can take in gorgeous scenery interweaving the waterfall, bare rock, and surrounding greenery. One of the area's charms is that visitors can take in beautiful views no matter what time of year, from hill cherry tree blossoms in spring and greenery peeking out between the bare rock in summer to fall foliage in autumn and snowscapes in winter.

Akita Areas

Famed for its sake and samurai, Akita prefecture offers quintessential Japanese culture in a non-touristy setting. Alongside the celebrated rice paddies and historical sites of the region lies dramatic natural scenery in the form of the rugged coastline of the Oga Peninsula and the Dakigaeri Gorge, best visited in autumn, when the leaves begin to change color.
