Kawazu Seven Waterfalls (Nanadaru) 1 Day Trip from Tokyo📍 Izu, Japan

Kawazu Nanadaru are seven waterfalls in the mountains above Kawazu Town in southeastern Izu. They range from the 30 meter tall Odaru (“large waterfall”) to the 2 meter tall Kanidaru (“crab waterfall”). A pleasant walking trail leads for about one kilometer through the forest and past the waterfalls.

Several statues along the walking trail depict the heroine of the short story “Izu no Odoriko” (The Izu Dancer, 1926), one of several works by Kawabata Yasunari (1899-1972), which are set in this area of the Izu Peninsula. Kawabata won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1968. The limited express trains from Tokyo to the Izu Peninsula, which also stop at Kawazu, are named Odoriko after the short story.

At the base of the trail you can find the small hot spring resort Nanadaru Onsen and the imposing Kawazu Nanadaru Loop Bridge, a unique, two-storied spiral bridge along National Route 414 high above the valley floor.

  1. though stairs would be a killer on my old knees but I would give it a try, I can just feel how humid it must be with the mist of that waterfalls and look at all the green around you it must of been a very refreshing place to hike

  2. Gorgeous spot! So at the beginning of the video, you were talking about the stairs. I feel you 😅 I have to give myself a little pep talk when I'm on a trail with TONS of stairs.

  3. Cool falls…lol always tons of stairs near the good ones. The stamp station seems like a fun idea.

  4. You got me right from the opening. I just seemed to get better and better. I’m glad you touched that beautiful bark. The whole thing was amazing. 🤗
