    Fukushima Pref. Minamiaidugunhinoematamura Mount Mt.
    "This waterfall on the border of Niigata and Fukushima Prefectures has been selected as one of Japan's top 100 waterfalls. The falls are on the Tadami River that flows from the Ozegahara Marshland to Lake Okutadami, and a popular trekking route connects it with Hiraname-no-taki Falls. The area's so beautiful that it's been said ""A visit to Ozei isn't complete without seeing Sanjo Falls and Ayamedaira marshlands"" Registered with the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, Oze is one of Japan's premier high-altitude marshlands. Used as a base for mountain climbing, it's part of Oze National Park, which covers a vast area spanning four prefectures."
  • Hiraname Falls

    Fukushima Minamiaizu-gun Hinoematamura Hiuchigatake
    This falls is along the Tadamigawa River where it flows from the east edge of Osegahara northward. As its name (“smooth slide”) implies, it flows down 400 meters from a massive rock as if sliding down a hill. This shows that the river, which seems to at first glance to flow through a flat landscape, so that one cannot tell where it comes from, is actually flowing down a gentle slope. About a kilometer farther down the river is Sanjo Falls, chosen as one of the Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls. It appears to be more powerful than Hiraname Falls. Certain sections of the riverbank can be extremely muddy, so walkers need to be fully prepared.
