【Kuroiwa Falls】 The introduction of the three waterfalls was also the last one left. Now it's about the non-red rock, the "Kuroiwa Falls"! It is quite a distance from the national highway, Once you reach Akaiwa Falls, you're almost there. Again, to the waterfall basin It's a short walk from the parking space, but there are few ups and downs. It is recommended for a casual stroll. We pass through a small stream and wade through the grass. The color of the rocks is also different. The shape of the waterfall was also slightly different from the other two waterfalls, and it was worth seeing. When I quietly listen to the sound of water Hours seem to go by in a blink of an eye. As expected, I was about to encounter a bear, so I rounded up in about ten minutes and went home. If you are intrigued by the waterfall, Why don't you visit before it gets cold? Please be careful when stepping.
