Senjo-no-taki Waterfall

Overview

Senjo-no-taki Waterfall is a 20-meter-wide, 3-meter-high waterfall located in Hakone-machi, Kanagawa Prefecture. The way in which numerous streams of water flow down is delicate and beautiful, almost like green velvet. Nestled deep within a forest, the tranquil atmosphere bathed in dappled sunlight offers a haven from the hustle and bustle of city life. The name Senjo-no-taki (Thousand Streams Waterfall) comes from the multiple streams cascading down its 20-meter-wide face. This waterfall face is formed from conglomerate rock, supplied by debris flows. Kowakudani was called "Ko-Jigoku" (Little Hell) until the Meiji period and remained undeveloped. In the Taisho period, Kyosuke Enomoto, the founder of Mikawaya Ryokan (inn), built a path to make the waterfall accessible. A teahouse was later established, leading to its development as a tourist destination. Senjo-no-taki Waterfall is a highly recommended spot to enjoy the natural beauty of Hakone. Surround yourself in tranquility, breathe in the abundance of negative ions, and revitalize your body and mind. Nearby are Kowakudani Station for the Hakone Tozan Railway and Kowakudani Station for the Hakone Ropeway. It's accessible by Hakone Tozan Bus.
