Shirakami Anmon Falls Trekking at Happo, Akita

Happo Town is the gateway to the Akita prefecture side of the Shirakami Mountains. On the trekking course that takes you through pristine beech forests to visit the three-tiered falls, you can observe each waterfall's unique character up close, from the first fall (42m drop) to the third fall. The gorge features a deep green world woven from mossy rocks and clear streams—a natural cooler even in summer. It's a refreshing trek that immerses you in the embrace of a World Heritage forest.
