Overview

Shiraitono-taki Waterfall is a 30-meter-high waterfall located in Nishiwaga-cho, Iwate Prefecture. Situated at the foot of Goddess Mountain (956m), it's surrounded by numerous other waterfalls of varying sizes, including Uba-taki and Furu-taki. True to its name, Shiraito-taki (meaning "white thread waterfall") is a breathtaking sight, with water flowing down like a curtain of white silk. A well-maintained walking path allows visitors to approach the base of the waterfall, where the spray sometimes creates a miniature rainbow. The area also features a shrine dedicated to "Mitaki Fudo Myojin." Shiraito-taki offers beautiful scenery year-round, with vibrant greenery in spring and stunning autumn foliage. The fiery reds and yellows of the autumn leaves particularly enhance the waterfall's beauty.
