Mitō Falls, Natural waterfall in Hinohara, Japan.
The water of Mitō Falls descends through multiple tiers across a total height of 30 meters, creating continuous streams against dark rock formations.
Local inhabitants of Hinohara Village have maintained the paths and viewing areas around Mitō Falls since the early development of the region in the 1900s.
Japanese traditions consider the waterfall a place of spiritual connection, where visitors participate in meditation practices near the flowing waters.
Visitors reach Mitō Falls by taking the JR Itsukaichi Line to Musashi Itsukaichi Station, followed by a 75-minute bus ride and a short walking trail.
The waterfall maintains different water flow patterns throughout the four seasons, with peak volumes during the spring thaw and rainy periods.
