The water gushing out and falling 30 meters comes from Mt. Tokachi’s underground water. If you want a great view of it all, head over to “Blue River Bridge”, the bridge standing over Biei River.
In winter, the splashes of water and steam magically create silver frost on the trees, depicting a fantasy-like wonder.
And, everyday from sunset to 9 pm it is all lit up.
See both the waterfall and the Blue Pond if you’re in the area, they’re only about 3 km apart.
