Shiraito Falls Fureai-no-sato
白糸の滝 ふれあいの里
Experience fishing and Somen-nagashi (Noodle float) at a healing spot overflowing with negative ions!
Located in the south of Itoshima City, 900 meters above sea level, is the 24-meter-high Shiraito Falls, halfway up Haganeyama Mountain. The waterfall is delicate and breathtaking, falling down the rock surface like a silken thread with a pure white spray. It is a healing spot overflowing with negative ions and nature.
The "Fureai-no-sato" area around the waterfall has a teahouse for all seasons, a water wheel, and an observatory. At the Shiki no Teahouse, visitors can enjoy set menus that use the famous "yamame trout” or try their hand at making soba (buckwheat noodles). From around Golden Week, visitors can try their hand at "yamame fishing" and the famous "somen-nagashi" (flowing noodles), which are popular as a fun way to spend time with family and like-minded friends.
From mid-June to early July, more than 100,000 hydrangeas are in full bloom, and in autumn, the area is crowded with tourists who come to enjoy the red and yellow leaves.From mid-June to early July, more than 100,000 hydrangeas are in full bloom, and in autumn, the area is crowded with tourists who come to enjoy the red and yellow leaves.
The view from the nature trail (promenade) leading from the bus stop to Fureai-no-sato is beautiful in any season of the year, making it a great photo spot.
