Ayutsubo Falls, Waterfall in Numazu, Japan
The Ayutsubo Falls spans 90 meters in width and drops 10 meters along the Kise River, creating a natural barrier between Numazu City and Nagaizumi Town.
The waterfall formed approximately 10,000 years ago when lava flows from Mount Fuji carved through the valley between Mount Ashitaka and Mount Hakone.
The waterfall gained recognition in cinema history through Akira Kurosawa's 1954 film Seven Samurai, where actor Toshiro Mifune filmed scenes catching sweetfish.
Visitors can reach the falls by taking a 10-minute walk from Shimotogari Station on the Gotemba Line, with parking available at Nagaizumi Town public lot.
The falls reveal distinct geological features, including multiple layers of thin lava sheets and traces of trees that were caught in ancient lava flows.
