Kawazu Seven Waterfalls

A great day exploring some part of the Izu Peninsula. While walking the Seven Waterfalls trail, we stumbled upon a hidden restaurant in the forest called Higurashi (which was basically just someone’s house), where they grow their own shiitake mushrooms!

The walk started with Deai-daru Falls (#2 of 7), and along the way, in the pouring rain, we crossed a wave-shaped suspension bridge and saw an old waterworks building along the river. Of course, we also had to sidestep crabs and giant toads that were also using the path… not to mention there were a few missing bridges. Finally, we stopped for some ice cream (and wasabi-flavored souvenirs), and drove back towards Hakone on the Kawazu Nanadari Loop Bridge.Leia mais
