箱根湯本の瀧
Waterfall at Yumoto, Hakone
Among dark rocks and trees, only the white water, split into many streams, stands out bright. Yumoto, in the title, is one of the hot spring towns with the longest history in Hakone.
About this photo
White water falls over black rock, spreading out at a slant as it goes. It splits into many streams, surrounded by black rocks and trees. In the middle of the right side, too, a few thin, whitish streaks run downward.
Yumoto, in the title, is one of the oldest hot spring towns in Hakone; tradition says its spring was first opened in 738. The band under the photo is printed with "箱根湯本の瀧" (Waterfall at Hakone Yumoto) in Japanese and "YUMOTO WATERFALL, HAKONE." in English.
Let your eye drop from the white streams of the falls, and in the lower left, three or four flat, whitish stones are lined up like stepping stones.
