Ayatsubo Falls Park

Ayatsubo Falls Park

PARK

Approximately 10,000 years ago, lava flowed down from Mt. Fuji, forming the southern land, including what we now know as Ayatsubo Falls Park. The park centers around the 10m waterfall.

There is dedicated parking for the park, however the signs are all in Japanese.

Review

The park itself is fairly small, however the walk is nice, topped off with the waterfall. On a good day you should be able to see Mt. Fuji in the background. Unfortunately you can see buildings in the distance, so it’s not quite the escape from the city you may perhaps want. I would start off at the top, walking down to end at the bridge viewing the waterfall. Make sure to bring bug spray as the whole path is littered with trees, meaning lots of bugs during the warmer months!

RECOMMENDED ROUTE:

You can either take a bus (or walk 26 minutes) from Mishima station, although I personally think the train might be easier (and it takes you closer to the park). Take the train to Numazu station and change to the Gotemba line. Depart the train at Shimo-Togari Station. The park is around an 8 minute walk from the station.
