Three Falls

A pretty 45 minute or so drive up in the mountains leads you to Futashika Umezu Falls or as the American’s refer to it as Three Falls. We went out with a group of friends and had a great time. It was really pretty and relaxing playing in the water and enjoying nature.

In the back you can see the third of the three falls. It was so smooth you could slide right down it. And if you look closely on the upper right corner you see me trying to decide if I should jump or not and in the water is Amanda F. encouraging me to do it!
