Inkura Falls is a waterfall in HokkaidoXXXZX13X. I was chosen the 100 Selected Waterfalls of Japan.
Overview
Indra, the name of the waterfall, comes from the fact that there was an ink line that carried wood cut out on this land. From being in the west and west rivers of the banks of the river, there is a different name for the falls. Although the fall is about 44 meters wide and the waterfall is about 10 meters wide and the water is one of the most famous, it is often shaped by the fragile earth condition of the colostrum.
Access
We enter the mountain side from the 36th State Road and follow the forest road along the way. There's a fair stand about 15 minutes' walk along the playwalk from the parking lot. There used to be a playwalk down the waterfall, but it was forbidden because of the danger of falling rocks. In December of 2009, the playwalk and fair stand were completed, allowing the whole view of the falls to be captured.
