ピョウタンの滝

The Pyotan Falls cascade down 10 meters into the Satsunai River, creating a powerful water display against the backdrop of the Hidaka Mountains.

In 1954, local farmers constructed a hydroelectric dam that transformed into the current waterfall after a severe flood buried the structure in 1955.

The falls serve as an entrance point to the Hidaka Mountain Range Center, which exhibits the mountaineering history and ecosystem of the future national park.

Visitors can reach the falls by car, with a 60-minute drive from Obihiro Station or 25 minutes from central Nakasatsunai, using the free 50-vehicle parking area.

The site combines a former hydroelectric dam structure with natural rock formations, resulting in an unusual waterfall formation in Hokkaido.
