Overview

Located at an altitude of approximately 150 meters, Kameda Fudo Waterfall boasts a drop of about 25 meters and a width of about 10 meters, making it a truly awe-inspiring sight. The rock face, characterized by columnar joints – regular cracks in the rock – is a testament to the powerful forces of nature. These formations are created when magma cools and solidifies slowly deep underground. The waterfall boasts abundant water, with its powerful flow roaring constantly throughout the year. Lush greenery surrounds the area, providing a tranquil setting to soak in the abundance of negative ions. This is the perfect spot for those seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, immerse themselves in the power of nature, and find serenity. Access is relatively easy, approximately 15 minutes by car from Matsugasaki-Kameda IC on the Nihonkai Tohoku Expressway. However, some sections of the footpath leading to the waterfall can be slippery after rainfall, so wearing sturdy shoes is recommended.
