Ono Falls

Ono Falls is a mountain waterfall in Agematsu where water descends through multiple dark rock tiers, creating white streams against the green forest backdrop. The water splits into several channels across the rock face, forming a network of cascades.

The waterfall gained recognition when artist Katsushika Hokusai included it in his waterfall print series during the 1830s. This depiction in the Edo period contributed significantly to its renown.

The waterfall embodies Japanese reverence for natural water features, which hold sacred significance in Shinto beliefs. Visitors can sense this spiritual connection to water when approaching the site.

Visitors can reach the waterfall through marked hiking paths from Agematsu station. The best time to visit is spring and autumn when conditions are most favorable.

The waterfall's geological formation allows water to split into several channels before descending. This creates a distinctive pattern that sets it apart from other similar locations.
