Last update :

The Ishikari River is a first-class river that flows through the central-western part of Hokkaido and empties into the Sea of Japan. Sounkyo, located along the Ishikari River, has a large gorge with many waterfalls falling from the cliffs over a distance of 24 kilometers. Two of the most beautiful waterfalls are "Ryusei-no-Taki Falls・Ginga-no-Taki Falls."

The "Ginga-no-Taki" waterfall flows down beautifully in multiple layers like a thin and delicate white thread, while the "Meteor-no-taki" waterfall is characterized by its powerful flow as a single thick waterfall. For this reason, it is also known as Medaki (female waterfalls) and Odaki (male waterfall).

Go up the slope for about 20 minutes with your back to the waterfall, there is a viewing platform called "Twin Waterfall Platform," where you can see two waterfalls cascading down the left and right sides of the cliff, Fudo-iwa, at the same time.

Highlights

  • Go up to the viewing platform "Sobakudai," you can see two waterfalls at the same time.
  • The route to the waterfall platform is steep, so be sure to wear good shoes like sneakers.
  • There are souvenir stores, stores, toilets, and a parking lot on the premises.
  • Sounkyo Onsen, one of Hokkaido's best hot spring resorts, is also a good place to stop by.

    遊覽車直接開到瀑布面前,不用走太遠很輕鬆的一個景點。

    十月份去的整片都是楓紅,黃的綠的紅的布滿整個山頭景色優美迷人。

    流星銀河瀑布也是層雲峽溫泉代表的景點,一個很奔放一個緩緩落下,各代表不同意義,停車場旁邊有一間商店,可以在這邊買水果晚上帶回飯店慢慢吃。

    有一年冬天前往層雲峽溫泉,入住飯店前接近傍晚時分,導遊還特別說這邊就不訂集合時間看我們能夠撐多久,這裡峽谷地形風真的很大,每個人涷到臉都受不了,大家隨便拍拍照就趕緊上車,不到10分鐘全團歸位在車上坐著好好的,嘴裡說趕快回去泡溫泉♨️🤣
