This lake is indeed secretive and mysterious from the distance.

(Translated by Google) Added as of October 2023 The road to Lake Okotanpe appears to have been restored. The color of the lake's surface changes depending on where you view it that day and the weather, making it a wonderful place that can be described as a hidden gem. The section from Lake Okotanpe to Lake Shikotsu is currently closed to traffic, but it seems possible to walk there. (Original) 2023年10月現在追記 オコタンペ湖までの道は復旧したもようです。 その日の観る場所や天候などにより湖面の色が違い、秘境と言う言葉がピッタリの素晴らしい場所です。 オコタンペ湖から支笏湖までの区間は現在も通行止めですが、歩いて行くことは出来る様です。

(Translated by Google) It has an interesting shape when viewed from above. The colors of the lake are bright and beautiful. (Original) 上空から見ると面白い形してます。 湖の色が鮮やかで綺麗です。

(Translated by Google) In 2023, the road closure will be partially lifted and you will be able to see the lake from the location in the photo. (Original) 2023年通行止めが一部解除されて写真の場所から湖を眺めることができます

(Translated by Google) It is closed to traffic during the winter, but you can reach the observation deck by walking about 2 to 3 km. The lake covered in snow and ice is not very impressive, but there are no cars passing by, so it was a nice walk. There are also many after the climbers have walked. It is said that you can see a very clear lake in the summer. (Original) 冬期は通行止めとなっていますが、2~3kmほど歩くと展望台まで行くことができます。雪と氷に覆われた湖はあまり見応えありませんが車も通らないため良い散歩になりました。登山客が歩いた後も多数あります。夏にはとても澄んだ湖が見えるそうです。

(Translated by Google) The weather was sunny, but maybe it has something to do with the season or time of day? It looks pretty good in the photo, but to the naked eye it doesn't look blue at all, and it wasn't beautiful at all. There are also very few places where you can see the lake surface due to the trees. There is also no well-maintained observation deck. Please note that if construction is currently underway in front of the area where you can see the lake, you will not be able to pass through. Walking 2km would be a complete waste of time. There are also bears in this area. Maybe now isn't the right time to go. (Original) 天気は快晴でしたが季節とか時刻とかの関係でしょうか？写真ではそこそこきれいに撮れてますが肉眼では全然青く見えず美しくもなんともなかったです。また木々のせいで湖面が見える場所もごくごくわずか。整備された展望台もありません。なお現在湖が見える場所の手前で工事中で作業をしている場合は通行不可です。2km歩いて全く無駄足ということになります。またこの周辺には熊も出るとのことです。今はあまり行き時じゃないかもしれませんね。

(Translated by Google) It was sunny since the morning! Indescribable blue! It was a wonderful view. . Roads are closed at this point. (Original) 朝から快晴でした！ なんとも言えないブルー！ 素晴らしい絶景でした。。 この先は通行止め。

Beautiful waterfalls. It's calming and relaxing. Just a nice site for a quick visit to feel closer to nature.

Beautiful, with a couple of different angles that are cool to look at

One of many beautiful natural sights in Hokkaido. This waterfall was part of our "romantic bus service". Apparently this is one of 3 waterfalls in the region. During this time of the year you can see the leaves turning yellow and red. The contrast with few remaining green trees makes this waterfall sight to behold. If you are lucky to have the whole day to explore the area. You should walk and explore all three waterfalls in nature. Be sure to get warm cloths as it can get cold during October.

A few beautiful waterfalls. Excellent with autumn leaves. Multiple places to view from if there are a few other sightseers there at once. Easy parking. Toilets and a vending machine. When we were there a small mobile coffee cart was also there.

Beautiful waterfalls. A short walk from the parking lots. Easy to access.

Beautiful waterfall with multiple viewing points. It's probably the nicest out of the three waterfalls on this road. There's toilets and a small cafe as well. Worth a detour.

雨のあとなど水量が増えてる時に行くと、轟音と共に美しい流れが見れます。真夏も良いけど春や秋がオススメです。2枚目の写真は白扇の滝のすぐ近くのラルマナイの滝です。こちらは落差は少ないですが美しい流れが見れるのでオススメです。 (Translated by Google) If you go when the water level is increasing, such as after rain, you can see the beautiful roaring sound of the flow. Midsummer is good, but spring and autumn are recommended. The second photo is Ralmanai Falls, which is right near Hakusen Falls. This is recommended because the drop is small, but you can see the beautiful flow.

本音を言うと何処にでもありそうな滝です。 10分くらいでチャチャッと写真撮って帰れるくらいのスポットなので、通り道なら立ち寄っても良いかと思います。 トイレはありますが、売店など何もありません。 又、圏外(auとSoftBank)なので、 もし、次に行く場所を事前に調べたり、グーグルマップをダウロードするのをオススメします。 (Translated by Google) To be honest, this is a waterfall that could be found anywhere. It's a spot where you can take a quick photo and go home in about 10 minutes, so I think it's a good idea to stop by if you're passing by. There are toilets, but there are no shops or anything. Also, since it is out of service area (au and SoftBank), If you're planning on going next, I recommend researching where you're going next or downloading Google Maps.

恵庭渓谷、上流より１つ目の滝。遊歩道横よりの眺め。結構好きなアングル。紅葉ももう少しのタイミングでした。 (Translated by Google) Eniwa Valley, the first waterfall from the upper stream. A view from the side of the promenade. An angle that I really like. The autumn leaves were just around the corner.

the滝って感じの迫力ある滝でした。 三段の滝、ラルマナイの滝、そしてこの白扇の滝が恵庭市で推している？滝らしい。 たまたま私は三段の滝から順に見ていったので、三段の滝があんな感じ(あぁ橋脚が…生で見てどんな感じか体験してほしいw)で、ラルマナイの滝にガッカリ(広告写真通りに撮ってみたいが無理じゃね？ドローン使ってる？？)して、期待しないで白扇の滝を見に来たら今までがフリだったのかという程に凄い迫力… ラルマナイの滝をなんとか迫力ある撮り方したいな～と苦心して無駄にした時間を考えなければ、来て実に良かった。 外人観光客がチラホラ来ていた(他二つの滝では全く見かけなかったw)。 柵を越え川に滝に近づいてはいけない(自己責任だが)。よく見てみよう、足下の岩盤に横に剥がれる岩のヒビとは別に、縦に割れそうな割れたら滝壺真っ逆さまなヒビもあるから(ヤバかった)。 この三種の滝の他にルートから外れたマイナー滝も巡るつもりだったのだが、いざ地図アプリ開こうとして圏外な事を知る…不覚。 (Translated by Google) It was a powerful waterfall that felt like a waterfall. Three-tiered waterfall, Ralmanai waterfall, and this Hakusen waterfall are recommended in Eniwa City? It looks like a waterfall. By chance, I went to see the three-tier waterfall in order, so I was disappointed by the third-tier waterfall (ah, the bridge piers...I want you to see it in person and experience what it looks like lol), but I was disappointed with the Lalmanai waterfall (advertisement photo) I'd like to take a photo of it from the street, but it's not possible. Are you using a drone? I'm really glad I came, if I didn't think about the time I wasted trying to find a way to take pictures of Ralmanai Falls in an impressive way. Foreign tourists were coming here and there (I didn't see them at all at the other two waterfalls lol). Do not cross the fence and approach the river or waterfall (at your own risk). Let's take a closer look. In addition to the cracks in the rock that peel off horizontally in the bedrock beneath our feet, there are also cracks that look like they'll split vertically and turn the basin of the waterfall upside down (that was scary). In addition to these three types of waterfalls, I had planned to visit some minor waterfalls that were off the route, but when I tried to open the map app, I realized that they were out of range...unbeknownst to me.

水量も有り紅葉してて、とても綺麗でした (Translated by Google) There was plenty of water and the leaves were turning red, so it was very beautiful.

駐車場から滝までのアクセスは、ものの数十秒。スロープもあるので、ご高齢の方でも安心です。 チラチラ見える川の様子から、なだらかな羽衣のような瀑布を想像していたが、意外にも垂直落下式荒々しい瀑布で、いい意味で裏切られました！ 川の水は文句なくキレイで、滝壺の深さによって奏でられるグラデーションが一服の清涼剤となって目に染み込みます👀 ただ、メチャクチャ暑い中、少々瀑布の飛沫（マイナスイオン）を浴びたいと思っていったのですが、瀑布を上から眺めて終わりです😅 目で清涼感を感じるだけで、直接肌で感じることはできません🙄 (Translated by Google) It only takes a few dozen seconds to get from the parking lot to the waterfall. There is also a slope, so it is safe even for elderly people. From the glimpses of the river, I had imagined a gentle, feather-like waterfall, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a wild, vertically falling waterfall! The water in the river is absolutely beautiful, and the gradation created by the depth of the waterfall basin is a refreshing touch that soaks into your eyes. However, in the extremely hot weather, I wanted to get some splashes from the waterfall (negative ions), but I ended up looking at the waterfall from above. You can only feel the cooling sensation with your eyes, but you cannot feel it directly with your skin.

Murakami Farm, located approximately an hour drive from Sapporo, is a cute little farm that offers enjoyable farming experiences. We experienced milking the cow, feeding the farm animals, and churning the fresh milk to make butter - ¥2,000 including the entrance fees. There are additional activities you can add, e.g., ice cream making at additional costs. It’s a good family and couple activities spot, located 15-minute drive away from Ecorin Village. The staffs are able to communicate in English and present entertaining workshops. We were pleasantly surprised with the menu from the small cafe. The dishes looked very good and homemade. Be sure to try out the soft serves - they’re definitely a hidden gem and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a farming experience nearby Sapporo. Please extend our regards to Tori-chan if you’re making the trip!

We visited this farm in May 2023 and it was an incredible experience! The highlights for us was making our own Hokkaido butter and milking the glorious Hime-chan <3 And of course, trying the delicious ice cream at the on-site shop! I was a little apprehensive when making the reservation as I wasn't sure if they would be able to accommodate English-speaking guests, but that turned out to not be an issue at all. Everything is extremely clear and we even had a lovely member of staff translate/explain everything to us and guide us through the farm, and even the non-English speaking staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. It was definitely a highlight of our trip to Hokkaido!

Wonderful place for kids. The online booking system was easy and user-friendly. Although their tour is guided in Japanese, hussle-free for english speaking visitors as they would show you a booklet with translation. Wonderful experience. You can also feed the animal at the farm next to restaurant. Wonderful experience for kids.

Had a really amazing time, fantastic staff were very kind and accommodating. I highly recommend the ice cream making experience -- lot's of fun and tastes amazing.

What a wonderful place! If you go, you HAVE to try the dairy experience set…not only do you milk a cow, you make and eat your very own butter!!! They give you a clear bottle with a small amount of milk squeezed fresh that morning, and you shake it until the butter forms. Since it takes an estimated 3000 shakes to make butter, the farm team blasts inspirational cardio-type music to help encourage you to shake. UNFORGETTABLE!!!

Whoaaa tiramissU delicious coffee vanilla and strong rum cake in the inside. Goood

Yummy ice cream always gets 5 stars from me.

A cute damn with views of valley, river, and a small exhibition space about the damn. No English but Google lense translated the information posters easily. Worth stopping at briefly if you're driving through the Eniwa Valley

(Translated by Google) Early October. Regardless of whether you like dams or not, it's perfect for a quick look. There was also a museum-like entrance, but I hurried past without entering. (Original) 10月上旬。ダムの好き嫌いは別としめサクッと見るにはちょうどよいです。資料館的な入口もありましたが、入らずに先を、急いでしまいました。

令和４年6月7日訪問

(Translated by Google) I rented a toilet in the mountains! They were very kind! Even though it was early. Thank you m(_ _)m The dam is just an ordinary dam, but as you walk along the road, there are three waterfalls that are quite spectacular! (Original) 山の中で、トイレ借りました!とても親切でした!時間前にも関わらず。ありがとうございましたm(_ _)m ダムは普通のダム、でも道を進むと三つの滝があり中々見事です!

(Translated by Google) September of the coronavirus pandemic. It was still early in the fall foliage season, so there was no one around. I was able to relax and enjoy the view of the beautiful dam lake, which is environmentally friendly. (Original) コロナ禍の9月。紅葉の季節にはまだ早く、誰もいませんでした。環境に配慮された美しいダム湖の展望をのんびり楽しむことができました。

(Translated by Google) A dam located deep in Eniwa. It is a dam made by stacking stones called a rock fill dam. I think it's boring just by looking at the text, but it's bigger than I thought. This dam plays a relatively important role, controlling the water source for Eniwa, Kitahiroshima, Ebetsu, and Chitose. (Original) 恵庭の奥深くにあるダム。ロックフィルダムという石を積み重ねて作ったダムだそうです。 文面だけだとしょぼいと思いますが、思ったほどでかい。 恵庭や北広島、江別や千歳の水源を司る、割と大変な役割を持っているダムです。

(Translated by Google) I tried doing the same top dance as the boogie-only section chief, saying, ``It's the top.'' I wanted a dam card, but I stopped by on a whim on my way back from the hot springs, so it was already past the distribution time... The scenery is beautiful, so it might be a good idea to visit again in a different season. (Original) 天端だぁ～とブギ専の係長と同じ天端ダンスしてみた。 ダムカードも欲しかったが温泉帰りにふと思い立って寄ったので配布時間を過ぎていた… 景色はいいので季節を変えて再来訪もいいかもしれない。

(Translated by Google) This is a dam surrounded by greenery in Eniwa. It's a structure that makes you want to go glass skiing. Upstream is Eniwa Valley. There is a waterfall that is worth seeing. (Original) 恵庭にある緑に囲まれたダムです。 グラススキーをしたくなるような提体ですね。 上流は恵庭渓谷です。見応えのある滝があります。

(Translated by Google) Visited with friends who love dams. One-day dam tour of Irikawa Dam, Yubari Shuparo Dam, Kanayama Dam, and Takisato Dam. Irikawa Dam is a beautiful dam that blends in with nature so much that you could almost call it a natural park. The mascot character is apparently called Izarin-chan. Speaking of dam, it is dam card. It not only lists the specs of the dam, but also includes trivia such as random "dam" information and special techniques. Irikawa Dam is a rockfill dam that takes the landscape into account. It is said that it is characterized by the fact that the embankment is covered with vegetation. Furthermore, since we will be visiting in May 2019, we also received a limited edition Reiwa Dam card to commemorate the change of era. (Original) ダム好きの友人達と来訪。漁川ダム〜夕張シューパロダム〜金山ダム〜滝里ダムの日帰りダム巡り。 漁川ダムは見た目は自然公園といってもいいくらい、自然に溶け込んだ作りの綺麗なダム。 マスコットキャラクターはいざりんちゃんというらしいですよ。 ダムといえばダムカード。 ダムのスペックが記載されているだけでなく、ラン"ダム"情報やこだわり技術といった豆知識まで。 漁川ダムは景観に配慮されたロックフィルダム。 堤体に植生を施しているのが特徴だとか。 さらに2019年5月来訪のため、改元記念の限定令和ダムカードもゲット。
