Kamuiwakkayu Falls

Rate this destination:

Kamuiwakkyu-no-tako or Kamuiwakkyu Falls is one of the best destinations to enjoy hotspring and falls.

This place is definitely a must-include in your itinerary when you visit Shiretoko National Park.

Before, visitors are allowed to hike up the mountain stream and climbing minor waterfalls along. After the hike, a natural hotspring at the base of the waterfall is the reward. However, this spectacular section was closed due to the danger of falling rocks. Visitors can still enjoy the lukewarm water lower 140 meters from the river basin.
