Otodome Falls (音止めの滝, Otodome-no-taki) is a waterfall in Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture, near Mount Fuji, Japan.
This waterfall with a height of 25 meters is part of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park.
The name "Sound Stopping Waterfall" comes from an episode in the Soga Monogatari story of the Kamakura period.
When the Soga brothers accompanied Minamoto no Yoritomo on a hunting expedition to the base of Mount Fuji, they plotted to assassinate one of Yoritomo's retainers, Kudō Tsuketsune, who was the murderer of their father.
In order to avoid being overheard, they planned their strategy by the roaring waters of this waterfall.
