Nanataki Falls

One of One of my favorite places to do forest bathing, their is a toilet,2 shrines, one is built into the rock. Do bring mosquito spray in the summer. Dogs are welcome.

Nanataki is a waterfall on the way to Mt Iwate. It freezes in winter turning it into a wonderful destination. It's only about 2.5 km from the road. You might need snow shoes to get there but you can rent them at the visitor center at the parking area.

It's about a 2km hike to Nanataki Falls from the trailhead at Kenminnomori. It's a great little hike in the warmer months, and also great fun during the winter when the waterfall is frozen. I went yesterday, and the fall colors were breathtaking! (Of course I recommend going on past Nanataki Falls and hiking all the way up to the summit of Mt. Iwate...)

A beautiful waterfall to visit especially during winter between end of Jan to end of Feb. You can't miss this tour. You could reach out 八幡平 resort for guide tour or take regular route if you are experience in snowshoeing.

Beautiful waterfall, nice hike.
