Japan Travel: Sounkyo Ice Waterfall Festival Ice sculptures, large snow domes Hokkaido62 Moopon
Daisetsuzan (大雪山) is Hokkaido's largest national park. It is a paradise for outdoor lovers, hikers, brown bears and deer. It is the first place in Japan to see autumn colors and snow each year.
Sounkyo (層雲峡) is a popular 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. There are a pleasant village center, onsen baths and two beautiful waterfalls in Sounkyo. Sounkyo is also a good base for hiking tours into the national park with ropeway access to nearby Mount Kurodake.
Sounkyo offers autumn leaf viewing, 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.
Sounkyo Ice Waterfall Festival
From late January to late March, the Sounkyo Ice Waterfall Festival is held. It features large, multi-story ice and snow structures with interior caverns and maze-like tunnels running through them. It usually includes ice sculptures, large snow domes, a snow tubing run (small fee required to rent tubes) and an event stage.
The festival requires 200 yen to enter and is open during the day and into the evenings over the two month period. Still, it is best viewed at night when everything is illuminated with colorful lights. Moreover, a small 5-10 minute firework display is held in the evenings of selected days. Food, drinks, souvenirs and resting space are available in a warmed pavilion.
Access Information
There are seven direct buses per day from Asahikawa Station to Sounkyo (110 minutes, 2100 yen one way).
Otherwise, 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).
Some ryokan in Sounkyo provide a free shuttle bus for staying guests from Asahikawa or Sapporo.

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.

Cinematic Hokkaido | Winter In Japan ( Zhiyun Crane Plus )
I have made it to Japan and our first stop was Hokkaido. We took off on the JR Rail to northern Japan and our first stop was Muroran, Japan. We explored around the beaches there for a few days before taking off on the JR Rail to Noboribetsu. This place is well known for its natural hot springs and onsen baths. We then took off again on the JR Rail even more north. We arrived in Kamikawa where we stayed in a small town called Sounkyo. It is known for its ice festival. This is my experience of Northern Japan from the cinematic eye. This was filled on my Sony a7sii with the new zhiyun Crane Plus gimbal and the DJI Mavic Pro
