About Fudō Falls
Get off the bus at Fudō Falls and follow the sound of water up a short path. The falls drop 15 metres into a green, mossy gorge, and the walkway takes you right up to them.
To the left of the falls is Migawari Fudō, a guardian who takes your troubles on himself; to the right, Shusse Daikoku, for luck at work. On the way up, the old tea house sells amazake and shiruko, with a hot-spring foot bath facing the falls.
