平原の滝

The Hirahara Falls cascade down multiple levels through dense forest vegetation, creating a continuous flow of water over natural rock formations.

The waterfall has been a significant natural landmark since the Edo period, when local farmers used its waters for irrigation systems.

The falls hold importance in Japanese nature appreciation traditions, with many photographers capturing its seasonal changes throughout the year.

Visitors can access the falls via a 15-minute walk from the nearest parking area, with wooden viewing platforms providing safe observation points.

During winter months, the waterfall's spray creates ice formations on surrounding trees, transforming the area into a natural ice sculpture garden.
