さくらの滝 Sakura-no-taki The Sakura Waterfall
|
The Sakura Water fall located in Kiyosato-cho, Shari-gun, Hokkaido is famous for cherry salmon swimming upstream. The waterfall is on the upstream of the Shari River, which is about 14 km away from the central part of Kiyosato-cho (town) toward Lake Mashu. The name “the Sakura Waterfall” was decided by the general open call for participants presented by Kiyosato-cho Tourist Association in 2002. From May through August every year, you can see jumping cherry salmon that head for the upstream for spawning. You may have a chance to see cherry salmon spawning in the flat pool with a depth of 50 cm, which is located in the downstream of the waterfall basin. On the body of mature salmon, there can be seen a line that changed in color from crimson to its spawning color of light red against the black background. Fishing is prohibited at the Sakura Waterfall for nature conservation. This waterfall is a sanctuary, where wildlife is carefully natured.
