滝
富士山の雪解け水が湧き出す高さ20m・幅150mの湾曲した絶壁から、大小数百の滝が流れ落ちる美しい滝。白糸の名にふさわしく、幾筋もの絹糸をさらしているような姿は女性的な美しさを感じさせる。国の名勝及び天然記念物であり、日本の滝百選にも選ばれている。
Hundreds of waterfalls of various sizes cascade down a 20-meter-high, 150-meter-wide cliff, fed by melted snow from Mt. The waterfalls, which are aptly named "Shiraito" (white threads), look as if they are draped with many strands of silken threads, giving the appearance of feminine beauty. It is a national scenic beauty and a natural monument, and has been selected as one of the 100 best waterfalls in Japan.
