    Scenic spots and Parks
    Kiyosato /Kobuchizawa /Yatsugatake

    Doryu Falls is an elegant waterfall with a height of 10 meters and a width of 15 meters. Snow and rain from Mt. Yatsugatake passes through the lava layer and the clear stream flows like silk from between the rocks. The sight of small waterfalls cascading down in many tiers creates a quaint scenery.
    It was named ``Dragon's Spit Waterfall'' because of the mystical nature of the waterfall that flows down like a silk thread from the green rocks.
