One of the 100 selected water falls in Japan is Fukiware no Taki Water Fall in Gunma prefecture.
It is a U-shaped waterfall with a height of 7 m and a width of 30 m.
Being called “the Niagara Falls of the East,” the water dynamically flows down into the basin.
There is lovely hiking right around and above the falls.
