Ashiribetsu Falls

Flow of the course

About this spot

This is the park's signature waterfall, located in the mountain stream zone of Takino Suzuran Hillside National Government Park. The sight of water dropping from a great height with a roar is powerful, and the spray keeps the air around the basin chilly. Even in midsummer only this spot feels like a different season, cooling down bodies tired from walking. The walking paths are well maintained, so families can reach the area near the falls without difficulty. Seeing the falls before going on to water play makes the difference in the character of the same water very clear.

Tips

The walking paths have steps and slopes, so come in shoes that are easy to walk in. Some places around the falls are wet and slippery. Hold small children by the hand. The park is large, so allow plenty of time for the walk from Children's Valley to the falls.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. The coolness stands out most in the strong sunshine of early afternoon.
