Shiraito Falls, Natural monument in Fujinomiya, Japan
The water cascades down through multiple streams from Mount Fuji's spring waters, forming a 20-meter-high curtain of white threads across the rock face.
The Japanese government designated Shiraito Falls as a Natural Monument in 1936, incorporating it into the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park preservation system.
The waterfall forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site 'Fujisan, sacred place and source of artistic inspiration' recognized in 2013.
The falls maintain consistent water flow throughout the year, with dedicated viewing platforms and rest areas available for visitors near the base.
The natural spring water emerges directly from Mount Fuji's underground channels, creating multiple thin streams that resemble hanging white threads.
