Selected as one of the 100 best waterfalls in Japan! The powerful "Ashiribetsu Falls
During the hot summer, you may want to go out in search of coolness. This is the time to go see a waterfall. Sapporo is actually home to many wonderful waterfalls, which are popular as power spots that can be easily visited. Among them, I would like to introduce "Ashiribetsu Falls" this time. Let's refresh yourself by soaking up lots of negative ions at this cool and refreshing spot!
Ashiribetsu Falls is located in Takino Suzuran Hillside Park, Hokkaido's only national park. Many Sapporo citizens may have fond memories of visiting the park during school events such as field trips, as it is only about 50 minutes by car from the center of Sapporo. The waterfall is located in the stream zone along the Atsubetsu River in the park, which covers an area of 400 hectares.
Asilibetsu Falls, with a drop of 26 meters, is one of the tallest waterfalls in Sapporo, and you will feel its power and momentum when you actually see it in front of your eyes. Waterfalls can be either masculine or feminine, but Ashiribetsu Falls is truly masculine. Just watching the spray from the waterfall will give you an exhilarating feeling.
By the way, the water gradually begins to freeze around December and becomes an icefall in the middle of winter. The unique sight of the waterfall in the northern part of Japan is definitely worth seeing. To get to Ashiribetsu Falls, it is about a 1 km walk from the parking lot at the mouth of the mountain stream, but it is safe to walk even in winter as the path is well maintained.
Ashiribetsu Falls is one of the 100 best waterfalls in Japan. A bus service is available from Makomanai Station on the Namboku Subway Line, so you don't need a car. It is a must-visit place to see such a powerful sight just a short distance from downtown Sapporo.
