The most famous waterfall in Karuizawa is Shiraito Falls! Shiraito Falls
- Nagano
- Experience Gifu


There are many Shiraito Falls throughout Japan, but the most famous one is probably Shiraito Falls in Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture. The sight of the 3-meter-high waterfall gently curving its way for 70 meters is breathtaking. The underground water gushing out of the rock surface and flowing down like white thread is also fantastic. Since there is no river upstream and the waterfalls are formed by subterranean water gushing from Mount Asama, the water is not muddy and remains clear even after rainfall. You will be able to feel plenty of negative ions.
