A waterfall known as a famous spot in Karuizawa. It is about 3 meters high, but 70 meters wide, with underground water flowing down from various points on the cliff, creating a beautiful landscape resembling a curtain of white silk threads. The source of this waterfall is the groundwater from Mount Asama, so there is no river above the waterfall, and if you look closely, you can see water bubbling up from the black rock surface. The contrast with the surrounding woods is also beautiful, captivating people with the beauty of each season: fresh greenery in early summer, dazzling autumn leaves, and snowy winter scenes.
