- 2 Fukiware Falls (吹割の滝). Fukiware Falls is a broad, 7-m-high waterfall where the Katashina River plunges into a narrow fissure in the rock, creating the impression of a giant split in the riverbed. Often called the “Niagara of Japan”, the falls were formed by erosion of soft volcanic rock and stretch approximately 30 m across. Walking trails follow the river through a forested gorge, with several viewing points overlooking the falls and nearby formations, including Byōbu-iwa, a wall of columnar rock. The scenery is particularly attractive during autumn foliage season. The falls are about 40 minutes by bus from Numata Station, although services are limited; the riverside paths may close in winter or when conditions are unsafe.
