Japan Trip: Sounkyo Waterfalls and Obako Massive view Columnar joint Hokkaido 61 Moopon
Daisetsuzan (大雪山) is Hokkaido's largest national park. It preserves a mountainous area of virtually unspoiled wilderness, which is larger than some of Japan's smaller prefectures. It is a paradise for hikers, outdoor lovers, deer and brown bears, and the first place in Japan to see autumn colors and snow each year.
Sounkyo (層雲峡, Sōunkyō) is a touristy hot spring resort town in the north of Daisetsuzan National Park. It is located in a scenic narrow gorge that is flanked by 100 meter high, forested cliffs. Sounkyo offers a pleasant village center, onsen baths and two beautiful waterfalls nearby. Sounkyo is also a good base for walks and hiking tours into the national park with ropeway access to nearby Mount Kurodake.
Sounkyo is also a popular autumn leaf viewing spot, and one of the first places in Japan to see the seasonal spectacle. The colors typically start to appear around the summit of Mount Kurodake in mid September and then gradually move down the mountain slopes until they reach the valley floor around mid October.
Ginga no Taki and Ryusei no Taki
About three kilometers east of the village center further up the valley, there are two beautiful waterfalls, Ginga no Taki (Milky Way Falls) and Ryusei no Taki (Shooting Star Falls), which cascade down the 100 meter high cliffside. Both waterfalls can be viewed from a large parking lot across the river or from a small observation deck that can be reached via a steep walking trail in about 15-20 minutes from the parking lot outside of winter.
Obako
Another five kilometers up the valley along the main road is Obako, a beautiful rock formation along the river that is said to resemble folding screens. An attractive cycling road used to connect the two waterfalls with Obako; however, it had to be closed due to its worsening condition and is unlikely to ever open again. Because public transportation along the valley is bad, a taxi or rental car is most convenient to access the waterfalls and Obako.
How to get there
There are seven direct buses per day from Asahikawa Station to Sounkyo (110 minutes, 2100 yen one way). Alternatively, you can ride a JR train to Kamikawa Station (40 minutes, around 2000 yen by limited express train or 70 minutes, 1070 yen by local train from Asahikawa) and catch a bus from there (30 minutes, 870 yen, 11 buses per day). See a link to the timetable under English Links below.
Some ryokan in Sounkyo provide a free shuttle bus for staying guests from Asahikawa or even Sapporo.

The brilliant fall colors of mountain ash and maples travel down the mountainsides from Kurodake, which rises to an altitude of 1,984 meters above sea level, to Sounkyo over the span of a month. The harmony between the two waterfalls, Ginga and Ryusei waterfalls, and the fall leaves is glorious.

【自然と温泉とおいしさと】上川層雲峡の流星の滝と銀河の滝
層雲峡にある落差90mの流星の滝と落差120mの銀河の滝。前者は一直線に水が流れるので、男滝。後者は繊細に流れるので、女滝と呼ばれているそうです。紅葉も相まって、素晴らしい景色でした。また、近くには2つの滝を同時見られる双瀑台がありますが、道はかなり険しいので、注意下さい。
