Furepe Falls, Coastal waterfall in Shiretoko National Park, Japan.
The waterfall drops 100 meters from a cliff directly into the Sea of Okhotsk, creating a natural spectacle along the Shiretoko Peninsula.
The falls received recognition as part of the Eight Views of Shiretoko, a collection that documents natural features of the Shiretoko Peninsula.
The name Furepe originates from a term meaning 'to be blown by the wind', reflecting the natural forces that shape this coastal region.
Visitors can access the falls through a one-kilometer walking trail from the Shiretoko Nature Center, which takes approximately twenty minutes to complete.
Unlike typical waterfalls, Furepe Falls forms from groundwater that emerges at the cliff top rather than from a flowing river system.
