Asahi Falls

WATERFALL

Asahi Falls is a 105m waterfall said to have gotten its name from how it shines when the morning light hits the water. Formed from solidified lava, it is now a geosite of the Izu Peninsula Geopark.

The Autumn leaves are in full bloom from early to mid-December. Note that the water level will change depending on the season.

There is a free parking lot with enough space for four cars.

Review

Asahi Falls is a 105m tall waterfall, hidden in the Izu Peninsula. During winter, the water flow can be quite low so unless you want to see the Autumn leaves in full-bloom, I suggest that you visit closer to summer, where there is a heavier supply of water.

RECOMMENDED ROUTE:

Asahi Falls is easiest to get to by car as public transport on the West side of Izu can be quite sporadic. If you’re travelling by public transport then take the train from Mishima to Shuzenji on the Izu Hakone Tetsudo Line. Switch to the bus bound for Kawazu (河津駅) and get off at Asahi Falls Entrance (旭滝口). It’s a 4 minute walk from the bus stop.
