Kurokuma Falls is a waterfall in Aomori. One of the the 100 Selected Waterfalls of Japans.
Overview
It's about 18 kilometers from the Akashi River River near the middle river, at the tributaries Fallsozawa, and it's about 15 kilometers west of Mount Ishiki. It's the largest waterfall in Aomori. Since the sight of the waterfall seems to be in focus, it's long since been a subject of faith. There are large waterfalls upstream and down the river, and playwalks that allow us to see three waterfalls, including Kurokuma Falls, but they're very low and difficult. There's a crowd of bee-nuts around, and the south wall of the waterfall has its own corrugated pyre.
