Northern Alps Falls is located in the South Alps National Park of YamanashiZQQ165X. In order to distinguish the mountain from the southern tributary waterfalls, it is called the North Great Rift Falls. One of the the 100 Selected Waterfalls of Japans.

Overview

At Ishigawa, which is the source of the water of one of the mountains of Mount Tsunami, it will fall several steps from near altitudes of 14,400 meters. The total difference is estimated to be 121 meters and 180 meters and is the largest in the range of Mount Fuji. A threadfish River Sequoia line runs in the vicinity and flows down a cliff that is exposed to a cloud of clouds. There are nine steps of waterfall below, followed by one waterfall, two waterfalls, three waterfalls, and so on, and so on, and so on. The playwalk is arranged along the valley, and it's about 40 minutes from the parking lot to the waterfall platform. If a believer in Tsubagakure has a path back through the Great River, it has been named after a fast bath in this waterfall. Prostitution also leads to a broken child and means a large rock wall. In fact, on the right side of the waterfall is a boulder wall of granite.

Nine-step waterfalls

It's directly below the northern tributary waterfall and it falls 40 meters. With the spread of the mountain, beautiful white sand beaches will spread before the falls. From the base of the waterfall at the end of the Tohoku River Valley pass, you can hope for a happy future with the northern tributaries upstream.
