カムイワッカの滝 Kamuiwakka-no-taki The Kamuiwakka Hot Waterfall
|
The Kamuiwakka Waterfall located in Shari-cho, Hokkaido is famous for the natural open-air hot spring pool at the top of the waterfall. “Kamuiwakka” means “the spring of the god” in the Ainu language. The Kamuiwakka River, which springs out of Mt. Io, an active volcano in the central part of Shiretoko Peninsula, is a hot water river with succession of waterfalls. Hikers can enjoy hot spring bathing everywhere on their way. If you climb up along the river for about 20 minutes, there is a relatively large waterfall basin. This is the natural open-air hot spring bath called “Kamuiwakka Yu-no-taki,” where you can enjoy bathing in the deep mountain. Shiretoko is called “the last land of seclusion,” and Kamuiwakka Hot Waterfall is a secluded hot spring spot known all over the nation.
