The mysterious waterfall on the Shiretoko Peninsula in Hokkaido

After boarding the tourist bus from Shiretoko to Lake Akan, the first stop is at the Oshinkoshin Waterfall, one of Japan's top 100 waterfalls and one of the eight scenic spots of Shiretoko. 📍Detailed address: The waterfall is located along National Route 334 from Shari Town to Utoro, about a 20-minute drive from the hotels in Shiretoko. Most tourists visiting Shiretoko will come here. 🌟Highlights: The Oshinkoshin Waterfall is about 30 meters wide with a drop of 50 meters, and the water splits into two streams, hence it is also known as the 'Twin Beauties Waterfall'. Visitors can climb up the steps to get close to the waterfall and appreciate the breathtaking beauty in front of them. The waterfall does not freeze in winter, and by climbing the snow-covered steps, one can admire it up close, with the babbling brook flowing endlessly among the snowy mountains.
