Ichinokama Waterfall is a hidden gem in Yamanashi's Mitomikamikamaguchi neighborhood, celebrated for its exceptionally clean and cold water. Visitors can enjoy a scenic 10-minute walk from the parking lot, which includes crossing a charming suspension bridge to reach the falls. While the area immediately surrounding the waterfall is well-maintained, the trail can be steep and rugged, requiring sturdy walking shoes. It is a popular 'power spot' where travelers come to rest and enjoy the river views, especially during the hot summer months when the water provides a perfect natural cooling-off point.

Ichinokama Waterfall is highly regarded by visitors for its stunning natural beauty and exceptionally clean, clear water. Many reviewers highlight the waterfall as an excellent spot for cooling off during the summer, though they warn that the water remains ice-cold even in heat. The walk to the falls is relatively short, taking about 10 minutes from the parking area, and includes a scenic suspension bridge. However, some guests advise caution due to the lack of safety railings and the rugged nature of the trail, suggesting that proper walking shoes are a necessity. While the immediate area around the falls is well-kept, some visitors noted litter further downstream. Overall, it is described as a peaceful 'power spot' ideal for resting and enjoying river views.
