Kamuiwakka Hot Spring Falls

Remarkable hot springs gushing forth from the center of Mother Nature
Kamuiwakka Falls’ real name is “Kamuiwakka Yu-no-Taki” which means, “Kamuiwakka Hot Spring Waterfall,” and true to the name, the body of the falls comes from natural hot springs. At this location deep in nature, visitors are free to stroll around the area or play in the river. The water isn’t so hot in most areas making it easy to relax in for long periods of time without noticing, but staying in too long may produce slight stinging pains due to the density of acidic minerals in the springs, so please be careful.

Enjoy climbing up the gorge to the Ichi-no-Taki Falls!
One way to enjoy the hot springs at Kamuiwakka Falls is to find the Ichi-no-Taki Falls pool which is like a giant bathtub! The Ichi-no-Taki Falls are located about 100 m away from the entrance taking about a 10-minute climb upstream through the gorge of the falls.
Watch the falls from the water!
For those who want to explore the area around the Kamuiwakka Falls, we recommend a cruise boat! The boat takes you around not only Kamuiwakka Falls but also other famous sights of the World Natural Heritage Site registered Shiretoko National Park like the Shiretoko Goko Lakes and the Uronko Rock as well as the Oshinkoshin Falls.
