Sapporo City

There are a number of wonderful waterfalls in Sapporo City. Takino Suzuran Hillside Park, Hokkaido's only national park, is home to four waterfalls, one of which has been selected as one of the top 100 waterfalls in Japan.

This time we will introduce one of the four waterfalls in Takino Suzuran Hillside Park, Masumi-no-Taki. Why not take a walk and enjoy the cool air?

Takino Suzuran Hillside Park, a national park, covers an area of 400 hectares, and you can see as many as four waterfalls in this vast site. The four waterfalls include "Ashiribetsu Falls," which has been selected as one of the 100 best waterfalls in Japan, "Fudo Falls" (currently off-limits due to heavy rain damage), "Shiraho Falls," and "Masumi Falls," which we will introduce in this article. Masumi Waterfall seems to be quite an attractive waterfall, so much so that some people prefer it to Asiribetsu Waterfall.
The name "Trout Viewing Waterfall" comes from an anecdote: when a trout came up the river and reached this waterfall, he gave up and just looked up ...... as there was no way he could go up this waterfall. The 18-meter drop and 20-meter width of the waterfall, which spreads out softly along the smooth rock surface, is quite graceful and elegant. It is a waterfall with a graceful elegance, spreading softly along the smooth rock surface.
Looking at Masumi Falls from the front, the waterfall flows in two separate streams, one on the left and the other on the right. The left side of the waterfall is stronger, while the right side is stronger, and the waterfall shows different expressions depending on the season.
The closest parking lot to Masumi-no-Taki in the vast Takino Suzuran Hillside Park is the Masumi-guchi Parking Lot (parking fees apply). It is about 700 meters from there to the waterfall you are looking for. It takes about 15 minutes to reach the waterfall, even if you walk slowly along the promenade while admiring the surrounding nature.

You can get close enough to feel the splash of the water, so those who want to experience negative ions and refresh their body and soul will love it. It might be a good idea to visit all the waterfalls in the park.
