Kashuni Falls, Coastal waterfall in Shari, Japan
The 30-meter Kashuni Falls descends directly into the Okhotsk Sea through a dark cave formed within steep coastal cliffs of the Shiretoko Peninsula.
The name Kashuni originates from Ainu language, referring to a location where indigenous people constructed temporary shelters during their travels along the peninsula.
The waterfall marks a traditional route used by Ainu people when traveling between Utoro and Cape Shiretoko through the mountainous Shiretoko Peninsula.
Visitors can only access Kashuni Falls through sightseeing boats departing from Utoro port, requiring selection of the Cape Shiretoko cruise course.
Bears occasionally appear near the waterfall base searching for fish, where the freshwater from Charasenai River meets the salt water of Okhotsk Sea.
