- Seven waterfalls located on the Kawazu River in Kawazu Town, Kamo County, Shizuoka Prefecture—the O-daru, Deai-daru, Kani-daru, Shokei-daru, Hebi-daru, Ebi-daru, and Kama-daru. The highly unique and charming scenery of the falls’ was created some 25 thousand years ago by a lava flow from a volcanic eruption. A famous sightseeing spot in Izu, visitors can visit all of the walls by walking an 850 meter long promenade. A bronze statue in front of the Shokei-daru recreates a scene from Yasunari Kawabata’s novel The Dancing Girl of Izu, and is a popular spot for people to take photographs with. Note: Due to typhoon damage caused in 2011, the O-daru is currently not viewable by the general public, and there is no current schedule to re-open it. The falls are only viewable by Amagiso ryokan inn guests and day trip hot spring bathers.

- The Shokeidaru Waterfall is one of the Kawazu Nanadaru (“Seven Waterfalls of Kawazu”). Around 10 meters high and seven meters wide, it is a very popular spot for taking photos. Right next to the statue there is the bronze statue “The Dancing Girl and I,” based on the short story “The Dancing Girl of Izu” by Yasunari Kawabata, which makes an ideal backdrop for souvenir photos.

Shizuoka Areas
With the giant Pacific Ocean to the south and the great Mount Fuji to the north, Shizuoka prefecture is blessed with some of the best views the country has to offer. The white sand beaches of the Izu Peninsula are a rare find on mainland Japan, neighbored by beautiful cliffs, tumbling hills, and natural hot springs. As Japan’s largest producer of green tea, the age-old tradition of tea drinking is ubiquitous in Shizuoka, from the miles of tea fields to the old tea houses hosting traditional tea ceremonies.
