Onogawa Fudō Falls, Natural waterfall in Kitashiobara, Japan.

The Onogawafudo Falls descends 25 meters from the Bandai Highlands, creating white cascades against dark volcanic rocks near Lake Onogawa.

The 1888 Mount Bandai eruption transformed the landscape around the falls, leading to the formation of multiple lakes in the surrounding area.

The waterfall derives its name from Fudo Myoo, a Buddhist deity enshrined at the location, reflecting Japanese religious traditions.

A one-kilometer trail leads visitors through forest paths and stone steps to reach the waterfall, requiring approximately 30 minutes of walking each way.

During winter months, the waterfall's spray forms blue ice formations while summer brings relief from heat through natural water mist.
