Three Waterfalls in Nishiokoppe Village The other day I visited one of Nishiokoppe Village’s sightseeing spots —Gyōja Falls, Akaiwa Falls, and Kuroiwa Falls. This time I’m writing about Gyōja Falls! From National Route 239 you turn onto a mountain road and the first waterfall you come to is Gyōja Falls. When I got out of the car in front of a stone plaque with some explanation on it, I could hear the cool sound of the falls! On a certain day in August, unable to bear the heat, there was said to be an adult who stood under Gyōja Falls in a T-shirt and shorts—whether true or not is another story. Next time I will introduce Akaiwa Falls.

Introducing the post of the "Higashikawa Tourism Association" COOL JAPAN VIDEOS official social media account! Higashikawa, Hokkaido is a town located in the center of Hokkaido. Natural water from melting snow is used for rice, vegetables, restaurants, and other daily water in the town. The hot springs in Daisetsuzan National Park are also one of the attractions.

Hello to everyone watching Cool Japan Video, nice to meet you!
We are the Higashikawa Tourism Association.
We will share attractive tourism information about Higashikawa-cho in Hokkaido, home to Daisetsuzan National Park, Japan’s largest national park, on Cool Japan Video, so please look forward to it!

Higashikawa-cho sits in central Hokkaido and overflows with natural blessings.
It enjoys excellent access, about a 10-minute drive from Asahikawa Airport to the town center.

Uniquely for Japan, Higashikawa-cho does not have a public water supply system.
Beautiful natural water formed by Daisetsuzan’s snowmelt seeping deep into the ground serves as the town’s domestic water and is used in many places, including restaurants.
Agriculture benefits from these abundant water resources, producing delicious rice and vegetables with exceptional flavor.

One of Higashikawa-cho’s charms is its proud hot springs.
Higashikawa-cho has two hot spring areas, Asahidake Onsen and Tenninkyo Onsen, both located within Daisetsuzan National Park.

Around Asahidake Onsen there is no typical hot-spring town; the landscape is carefully managed with height limits and spacing regulations.
Day-trip bathing is available, so please stop by during mountain climbs or hikes.
You can luxuriate in the hot spring while soaking in the natural scenery.

Tenninkyo Onsen is also popular for its reputed benefits for diabetes and arteriosclerosis.
Two hot-spring facilities operate there, and as of June 2023 both lodging and day-trip bathing are available.
Nearby you can enjoy Hagoromo Falls, selected as one of Japan’s top 100 waterfalls.

Beyond hot springs, Higashikawa-cho offers many attractive spots where you can feel nature’s breath.

- Asahidake Visitor Center
Opened in 2019, Asahidake Visitor Center provides information on the nature of Daisetsuzan National Park and guided tours.
You can view a diorama of the spectacular viewpoints for mountain climbing.
Seasonal exhibits, AR displays, and VR goggles allow a virtual experience of the Daisetsuzan mountains.

- Daisetsu Asahidake Gensui Park
This park is the source of Higashikawa-cho’s natural water, rich in calcium and minerals.
You can freely collect spring water that Daisetsuzan’s snowmelt naturally filtered over centuries.

- Daisetsuzan Asahidake Ropeway
The roughly 10-minute aerial ride from the Daisetsuzan Asahidake Ropeway Sanroku Station at 1,100 meters to Sugatami Station at 1,600 meters offers grand panoramic views and seasonal scenery.
From the ropeway, beginners can enjoy a trekking course of about one hour.
The hike to Asahidake’s summit takes about two hours from here, and the peak rewards you with a 360-degree panorama including the Tokachi Mountain Range, MtAshibetsu, and Mt. Shokanbetsu.

- Canmore Ski Village (Kitoushi Forest Park)
This ski area is inside Kitoushi Forest Park, a 15-minute drive from Asahikawa Airport.
With six courses, it caters to beginners through advanced skiers and is popular with many international visitors.
Kitoushi Forest Park also has a campsite and cottages, so overnight stays are possible.

- Lake Chubetsu
At the foot of Daisetsuzan National Park, Lake Chubetsu offers canoeing experiences.
You can enjoy seasonal vistas from fresh greenery to autumn colors and snow-capped scenes.
Local guides support participants, so even first-timers can join with confidence.

Higashikawa-cho’s population is about 8,400 people (as of June 2023).
Thanks to strong child-rearing support and convenient access from the airport, the town has seen an increase in residents in recent years.
Its rich natural environment makes it an ideal place for a stress-free life.
The Higashikawa Town Immigration Experience lets people live here for three months up to one year.

The town operates a municipal Japanese language school, and around 600 foreign residents live here, with strong support for international students.

Higashikawa-cho is a place full of nature’s gifts.
Aiming to be a photograph-friendly town with beautiful seasonal nature, it has declared itself the Photo Town, the photography culture capital.
Higashikawa-cho offers abundant natural environments, hot springs, delicious food, and the warmth of local people.
We will continue to bring you plenty of charming information about Higashikawa-cho in Hokkaido, so thank you for your support.

What do you think this is, sitting at the entrance of the tourist information center? The answer is a sub-bituminous peat layer that forms the base of the moor hot spring. It was created by the accumulation of reeds and other plants that once grew along the Tokachigawa riverside in ancient times. Plant-based moor hot spring water wells up through this peat layer. The humic substances (humin) in the peat combined with alkalinity create a silky, mild water quality, which is why it’s called a beauty bath. Moor hot springs are also registered as a Hokkaido Heritage; please come and experience them 🥰

Introducing the events at Hakurin Park Festival! 🐟 Akiaji Catching by Hand Taiki Town thrives not only on dairy farming but also on fishing, bringing in delicious seafood year-round, with the autumn salmon standing out as its main catch. Akiaji (aki-salmon) does not mean horse mackerel; it refers to the salmon (sockeye/white salmon) that return to their home rivers in autumn to spawn. Akiaji has firm flesh and a clean, mild flavor. At the Hakurin Park Festival, we will hold an Akiaji catching event for up to 100 children in elementary school or younger (planned). Distribution of participation tickets begins at 9:00 by the fountain. This event is a perennial favorite! Additionally, akiaji soup will be on sale at the venue. Enjoy the taste of autumn in Taiki Town! ※The photo is from a past Hakurin Park Festival.

Nishiokoppe, Hokkaido
Sep. 6, 2023
***Asian Pro Wrestling in Nishiokoppe*** September 3rd. A wrestling ring suddenly appeared in the village. Wrestlers entered to battle-pumping music that stirred the crowd. It was my first time watching, and even after it ended I still didn't fully understand the rules, but I clapped along with the crowd-pleasing wrestlers, gasped as they spun through the air to land moves on their opponents, and the time flew by…! During the merchandise sale, I even saw heartwarming scenes like a wrestler posing for a photo with a child who had bought a towel.
