Overview
It's located up in the Sudoku River and near the hot springs of Umeshima. (Excepts like 80 meters or 4 meters wide) You can see a spectacular view when you have a lot of water.
If it's for your own car
There's a free parking lot in the hot spring city. Although there are routes from Yamanashi to the Hakaoka's Island Forest and beyond the low pass to the Palmashima Hot Springs, the Okashima Forest road is originally a bad road, and it is still a long, narrow road, but it is still forbidden to take cars larger than microbuses. Also, falling rocks and mud slides are often stopped. There is an entrance to a playwalk near the bus stop at Abe Great Falls, which is a little down the prefecture 29 from the Umeshima hot springs. It's a course about 45 minutes across a suspension bridge along the way, about a mile and a half and a half a way.
If it's for bus use
It's about 30 minutes walk from Shizuoka Station.
The perimeter
There are many waterfalls in the Kashigawa system, and there are other waterfalls, hot springs, three waterfalls, red water waterfalls, Fudō Falls, and even waterfalls. In particular, red water waterfalls are a little remote, but they are as large as Abe Great Falls. In a few minutes, we'll be on our way to the exhibit from a parking lot on 29 State Road. There are also hot springs in the vicinity, Umeshima, hot springs in the Umeshima, hot springs in the Umeshima, hot springs in the Umeshima Islands, hot springs in the Konya hot springs, and sun baths.
