Fukuroda Falls, Ibaraki
Fukuroda Falls is often called “Yodo-no-taki” which means the four-step falls and is derived from the way the waterfall is separated into four distinct tiers. The four main tiers can be seen from two observation decks, one right at the base and one near the top of the falls, offering two very different, yet very stunning, views. As summer turns to fall, the falls recede some to give the stage to the resilient reds, oranges, and yellows of autumn.
