Waterfall Spots in Agatsuma Area Area

  • Osen Falls
    Travel / Tourism
    Gunma Prefecture Agatsuma-gun Kusatsu-cho
    This waterfall is about ten minutes by car from the Kusatsu hot spring town in Agatsuma County, Gunma Prefecture, and about a further 30 minutes on foot from the parking lot. The water falls 25 meters and the white water flowing over the red rocks is delicate and beautiful, just like the femininity the name implies. There are many shallow places in the river, and visitors can walk near to the basin of the falls to see it up close. Depending on your fitness level you can chose from two roads from the rest area—a steep bath or a bath with a gentle slope that takes some time to walk. Past the waterfall there is a large Katsura Caramel tree of over 300 years old, boasting a height of 35 meters, selected in the 100 Largest Trees in Japan. On the other side is a large Japanese Horse-Chestnut and there are many things to see here.
  • Tamadare Falls
    Travel / Tourism
    Gunma Pref. Agatsumaguntsumagoimura Kambara 1053-10005
    Tamadare Falls is located on the foot path that links Kazawa Onsen and Shin-Kazawa Onsen. Visitors should cross Rindo Bridge and walk along the stream until they see the falls. Even though it is only five-meter high with a narrow flow, it resembles a bamboo curtain (tamadare) as it drops. The nearby rocks are covered in moss, and the falls are surrounded by lush, green, trees. This simple, natural scenery creates an ideal spot for relaxing and forgetting your worries. It is also a habitat for the Japanese clawed salamander. During the winter, the falls often freeze, and the trail is closed due to snow.
  • Asama Great Falls
    Travel / Tourism
    Gunma Pref. Agatsumagunnaganoharamachi Kitakaruizawa
    Asama Great Falls is the largest waterfall in Kitakaruizawa. Seeing the huge amount of water powerfully crashing down is a sight to behold. About five minutes downstream is another impressive sight, a set of three waterfalls called the Uodomeno Falls.

Gunma Areas

Gunma prefecture is synonymous with onsen. Natural hot spring water sources throughout the prefecture have given rise to a series of small onsen towns, each set among luscious mountains. At Kusatsu, Ikaho, and Minakami, traditional indoor and outdoor bathing experiences are served hand in hand with irresistible onsen-themed food, including steam-cooked eggs and custard pudding.
