土曜日、三保の松原への観光タクシーを手配させていただきました。
ニューヨークからお越しのご夫妻で、当日、京都へ向かう途中の2時間程を
費やしての静岡観光でした。天気は大変良く、三保の松原からの富士山は
さぞかし素晴らしかったことでしょう。この後は、京都、高野山、広島を訪問
するとのことで、きっと素晴らしい旅行になることと思います。

ぜひ、いつかまた静岡においでください。日本平からの南アルプスの山々、
茶畑、海と富士山のコラボレーションビュー、富士の水が織物のごとく流れ落ちる
白糸の滝、日本一の静岡茶、ここでしか獲れない由比の桜えびなどなど、
静岡にはまだまだたくさん良い所があります。そして、何より静岡の地元の
人々との楽しい時間を過ごしていただけたらと思います。
今回は、静岡においでいただき、また観光タクシーをご利用いただき、
ありがとうございました。では、良き旅を!!

When sightseeing in Fujinomiya city these 2 waterfalls are
must-visit. Ranked among japan's top 100 waterfalls.

They are only 5 minutes walking distance from each other.


Otodome Falls


25meters high and 5 meters wide. 
A powerful waterfall!
Otodome means "to stop sounds".


This is a photo spot (climb the steps)
a bit unstable but don't worry!

According to the legend, 2 samurai warriors (brothers) were talking about
taking revenge for their father near this fall.
But they could not hear each other due to the sounds of this waterfalls.
One of them prayed to stop the noise.

Then, it is said that the fall became silent.



Shiraito Falls 
Many tourists are visiting this spot especially after it was registered
as part of Mount Fuji World Heritage.


Shiraito no Taki means "White Thread Waterfalls"

1.5 ton of water  fall per second.


Waterfalls and Mount Fuji 
Please enjoy the sight of the Autumn leaves changing colors.
Feel so good.


Taken from the top of the waterfall

Not well known to tourists but I recommend you to
 discover that particular vantage point, too.

The falls are fed with melting snows of Mount Fuji.

I am sure that the clean water , the crisp air and the unique view 
will help you relax.
