Shiraito Falls

So cool and refreshing. Coming down from the waterfall if you turn on your right there are stairs that goes up to a small cafe run by a cute and talkative Japanese woman who is both entertaining and knowledgeable about the surrounding area and will give great recommendations on where to go next.

I was literally blown away by the power of this waterfall. Arrived at 7:30am on a weekday. No one was there. Amazing views!!

Easy 10 minute walk down from the carpark. Toilet available at the lookout point below. Very impressive waterfall with zero other tourists on weekday mornings.

Beautiful. 30 minutes drive from kumamoto. 200 yen for whole day. If you love nature and peaceful place, this place is worth the try.

Shiraito (White Thread) Falls: An ideal place for a warm cup of coffee at the bench under the leafy canopy of large trees before or after the short climb to the waterfall basin. Also in very close proximity is a cultural center.
