Joren Falls

In 2018, the Izu Peninsula was recognized as the 9th UNESCO Global Geopark in Japan. As one of the areas recognized for this designation, "Joren Falls" was also selected as a geosite. Joren Falls was chosen as a geosite for its rich nature and attractive terrain. This special geosite of Joren Falls is sure to provide valuable experiences and emotions.

Joren Waterfall is a naturally blessed spot surrounded by lush trees, where a beautiful waterfall with a height of 25 meters and a width of 7 meters flows from a cliff made of basalt. Especially during the summer, the coolness of the mountain air and the mist from the waterfall create a refreshing and cool atmosphere. This waterfall is particularly attractive in the summer, as it provides relief from the heat. You can refresh your mind and body while enjoying the scenery enveloped in deep green and listening to the sound of the waterfall.

Joren Falls is home to a rich population of the Hiikomochi fern, a rare species that only grows in the Izu Peninsula and southern Kyushu in Japan. This fern, a valuable natural monument, takes root in the falls' basalt and spreads its beautiful green leaves. Opportunities to see such a valuable natural monument are rare, but at Joren Falls, you can witness its beauty up close. You'll be moved by the combination of the falls and the Hiikomochi fern, and your heart will be touched by the mystery of nature.
