2 Beautiful Hidden Falls in Japan: Finally Discovered by Foreign Tourists (1080p60 HD recommended )

These two waterfalls are located in the Shiobara Onsen area of Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. They are still relatively unknown, even among Japanese people. However, lately, I’ve been bumping into foreign tourists every time I visit! It’s not a massive crowd like you’d see in Kyoto or Nara, but just a few years ago, you would never see a foreign traveler here. It really feels like word is starting to spread beyond Japan. *17:57 Spotting foreign tourists on the bridge. The two waterfalls are Fukyo Falls and Ryuka Falls. Both have incredibly crystal-clear water, and just watching the river flow by is so deeply relaxing. Ryuka Falls is a stunning 3-tier waterfall that drops from a height of 60 meters. Since you can view it from right underneath, the sheer power and beauty are truly special. Shiobara Onsen, where these falls are located, is a major hot spring resort, but it has lost the bustling prosperity of Japan’s past economic boom. About half of the ryokans and hotels have already closed down. You can really feel the passage of time, and it does bring a touch of nostalgia and sadness. But the natural beauty of this town will never fade. The massive, gorgeous canyon, the mountains, the rivers, and the traditional hot spring atmosphere continue to charm everyone who visits. 📍 Location: Shiobara Onsen, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan 📅 Date Filmed: July 1, 2026　/ 60fps #HiddenGem #RuralJapan #ShiobaraOnsen #Tochigi #NatureVlog #JapanVlog
