Waterfall Spots in Biei Area

  • Shirahige Waterfall
    Travel / Tourism
    Hokkaido Kamikawagumbieichou Shirogane
    This is an extremely beautiful waterfall, with a blue-tinted stream that wells up from an underground water source crashing over the falls and sending up a white spray. In early summer, the waterfall makes a wonderful contrast with the surrounding greenery, while in winter the whole area is covered in snow; this has made the Shirahige Waterfall a popular place to take photos. The illuminations during the winter months are a must-see.

  • Ryusei-no-taki (Shooting Stars Fall) and Ginga-no-taki (Milky Way Falls)
    Travel / Tourism
    Hokkaido Kamikawagunkamikawachou Sounkyou
    The cliffs alongside the Ishikari River continue on for 24 kilometers. The two most famous waterfalls flowing from the cliff are Ryusei no Taki (Shooting Stars Falls) and Ginga no Taki (Milky Way Falls). The Shooting Stars waterfall falls violently from a height of 90 meters while the Milky Way waterfall gracefully falls the 120 meters like a fine white thread. The falls are also referred to as male and female falls due to their symmetry. There is a large carpark on route 39 and a 20-minute walk with the waterfalls as a backdrop will lead you to the Sobakudai viewpoint.

  • Hagoromo Falls
    Travel / Tourism
    Hokkaido Kamikawa-gun Higashi-kawacho Tenninkyo
    This waterfall can be reached from Tenninkyo Gorge in the southeastern part of Daisetsuzan National Park by the promenade. The beautiful way in which two mountain streams merge to form a waterfall is reminiscent of the celestial nymph's robe of feathers, and it received its name from the writer Keigetsu Omachi in 1918. It boasts the title of being the largest waterfall in Hokkaido and the second largest in Japan with a height of 270 meters, and has been chosen as one of Japan's top 100 waterfalls. There is also a waterfall stand where you can face the waterfall in front. Being able to enjoy the superb view together with colorful autumn leaves is a major draw. The promenade is accessible from mid-May to mid-November. It is closed due to snow in the winter.

Hokkaido Areas

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
