Hossawa Falls
 
"Hossawa Falls" in Tokyo, the only one selected as one of "Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls," is definitely worth seeing. Located in Setosawa, a tributary of Kitaaikawa, it consists of four tiers with the first tier dropping 26 meters and a total height of 60 meters. Due to its resemblance to a Buddhist monk's hanging sleeves, the waterfall was formerly known as "Hangi Falls."
It is said that a giant snake lived in the basin of the waterfall.Live streaming a live camera.In the summer, there is the Hossawa Falls Furusato Summer Festival, where the waterfall is illuminated. In the winter, the ice waterfall at Hossawa Falls is also wonderful.

Kanoto Rock
Located in the Kanoto River, which is a tributary of the Kita Akigawa, is Kanoto Rock, a hidden power spot designated as a natural monument in Tokyo. It is 60 meters long, with a width of about 4 meters at the bottom of the valley, and a height of approximately 100 meters on the west bank. The rock is composed of a hard chert layer formed during the Jurassic period, which is believed to have withstood the erosion of wind and rain, leaving behind the canyon and towering rock walls.
