A cool mist hugs the path as the first thin threads of water reveal themselves through cedar and maple—Shiraito Falls arrives not as a single rush but as many delicate curtains spilling from a volcanic cliff. The roar is polite; the spray perfumes the air with mineral freshness and the constant, measured pulse of melted snow.
