Matsumi Falls, River waterfall near Towada, Japan
Matsumi Falls descends 90 meters through a natural chute formation, creating a vertical plunge into the waters of Oirase River.
The Japanese Ministry of the Environment recognized this natural formation in 1990 by including it in the official list of Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls.
The waterfall forms an integral part of the Towada-Hachimantai National Park, where visitors gather to observe seasonal changes in nature.
The falls maintain strong water flow during spring snowmelt, while autumn presents red and gold foliage along the surrounding hiking paths.
The waterfall's geographic position at 40°33′30″N and 140°54′23″E marks a natural boundary within the Oirase River's course from Lake Towada.
