Itoshima, Fukuoka / 白糸の滝(糸島)

Shiraito Falls (Itoshima)

A 24 m waterfall halfway up Mt. Hagane (900 m) in southern Itoshima, falling over the rock like silk threads. Around the "Fureai no Sato" by the falls are a tea house, a waterwheel and an observation deck; from around Golden Week you can try yamame trout fishing and "nagashi somen" (flowing noodles). From mid-June to early July over 100,000 hydrangeas bloom, and in autumn the leaves take on colour.
