About Mototaki Fuku-ryusui
- Capture the Grandeur: Because the waterfall is roughly 30m wide, bringing a wide-angle lens (approx. 20mm) is highly recommended to capture the dynamic scale.
- Wear Sturdy Shoes: The 750m walk from the parking lot involves a natural path, so comfortable walking shoes are a must.
- Enjoy Seasonal Contrast: Look out for the mystical mist that often forms in summer and the beautiful contrast between the green moss and white water.
- Combine with Nearby Falls: Enhance your trip by visiting 'Naso no Shirataki,' located about a 30-minute walk away.
