💦 Otodome Falls A powerful waterfall cascading down a high cliff. It has a different feel from Shiraito, but is just as beautiful. Easily accessible on foot. Truly beautiful, no exaggeration 💙

It is located just before Shiraito Falls. I couldn't get all the details because it was past visiting hours, but it seems that Amaterasu Omikami and Iwanagahime no Mikoto are enshrined there.

It's amazing to be able to see the waterfall and Mt. Fuji together.

It is a waterfall located right next to Shiraito Falls, but you cannot get close to it; you have to view it from a nearby observation deck. If the weather is good, you can see it along with Mount Fuji, and it was magnificent. You don't need to park in the public parking lot; you can just walk in and take a look. There is no admission fee.
