Hike out to see a frozen waterfall (Nanataki Falls) along the Nanataki route up Mt. Iwate (2,038 meters), which is one of the 100 famous mountains of Japan.
Nanataki Falls has a height of 25 meters. It is frozen from late January through February, and the enormous size and shape it takes on is really a wonder to behold.
