Shirahige Waterfalls
A Signature Waterfall of Biei! A Must-See Spot in the Shirogane Hot Spring Area
Shirahige Waterfalls is one of the most famous attractions in the Shirogane Hot Spring area of Biei. Underground water seeps out from between the rocks and powerfully cascades from a height of about 30 meters into the Biei River, which is commonly known as the "Blue River" for its stunning blue hue. The dynamic streams of white water resemble a "white beard," which is how the waterfall got its name.
Each season offers a unique view of Shirahige Waterfalls. In winter, the contrast between the white snow, the rock surfaces, and the flowing water becomes even more striking. The illuminated trees covered in rime ice create a magical, otherworldly atmosphere that captivates visitors.
