Shiraito Falls lies on the southwestern foot of Mount Fuji in Fujinomiya. Water that has filtered through the mountain's lava layers emerges along the cliff face, producing a broad curtain of thin white streams that give the falls their name, meaning white threads. The main drop is roughly 20 meters high and the cliff spans about 150 meters. A short paved walking path leads from the parking area down to viewing points near the base. The falls were designated a component of the Fujisan UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2013, recognizing their connection to Mount Fuji worship. The nearby Otodome Falls can be seen on the same visit.
