Introduction

Shiraito Falls, at the southern foot of Mt. Fuji in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka, Japan, is fed by Fuji's meltwater and springs — about 150 m wide, 20 m high, with countless white silken threads falling like hanging silk, hence 'White Threads.' With the Otodome Falls it is among Japan's 100 famed waterfalls and a component of the World Heritage 'Mount Fuji.' The green pool and Fuji's profile make it a signature of Fuji's waters and Japanese scenery — a clear spot for photography and quiet reflection.
