Beaux Waterfall, one of my favorite within 2 hrs if proximity from Tokyo. Shops are closed on Thursday. Waterfall is in shadow in the afternoon, recommend going in the AM until early afternoon.

Decided to rent a car first the first time in Japan. Quick 30 min drive straight up from Shin Fuji Station. Got there early and there was no one there. Beautiful water fall nothing like the water falls we have in Hawaii.
