白ひげの滝

Groundwater splits into multiple streams flowing down from rock crevices, looking like a white beard, which is why it is called "白ひげの滝" (Shirohige-no-taki). The drop is about 30m. Unlike typical waterfalls where a river plunges over a cliff, this is a rare type called a "senryubaku" (subsurface waterfall) where groundwater wells up from the rock face and falls. Located in Shirogane, the same area as the Blue Pond, and the water color is in the same color family.
