Seeing the waterfall from the observation deck above and taking the elevator down for a closer look are totally different experiences.

Shiawase no Mori Park
Opened in 2017, Shiawase no Mori Park is a natural park covering approximately 56,195 square meters. Located on a hill behind Michi-no-Eki Katsuragi, it’s about a 12-minute walk from the Katsuragi roadside station bus stop to the park entrance.
I visited at the end of April. There were less than 30,000 moss phlox, but it was already beautiful—like a pink carpet.

Hokkaido Shrine
Hokkaido Shrine, one of the most prominent shrines in Hokkaido, is located in Chuo District, Sapporo City. Its history is long, which began in 1869, when the Emperor Meiji directed to enshrine “Kaitaku Sanshin (Developing Three Deities)” here as a place of faith for pioneers.
This shrine is dedicated to the three deities of Hokkaido’s development, making it really representative of the region’s history. It’s not as crowded as the big shrines in Tokyo, so it’s a comfortable place to visit.

Sagano Romantic train
The Sagano Kanko Railway's trolley trains operate on a revived part of the former San'in Main Line, which was closed down. Classical Art Deco style coaches coupled to a diesel locomotive travel 7.3 km one way from Torokko Saga Station, adjacent to JR Saga-Arashiyama Station, to Torokko Kameoka Station, taking about 25 minutes.
During the fall foliage season, this popular sightseeing train is packed! If you don't book tickets early, you'll only get standing room. The train passes by the Hozu River, and you can even wave to people on the boats.
