星置の滝, Cascading waterfall in Teine district, Sapporo, Japan
Hoshioki Waterfall descends in two distinct tiers, turning direction midway through its 12-meter drop into the Hoshioki River.
The waterfall emerged after sea level changes following the formation of Hoshioki alluvial fan during the Jomon marine transgression period.
The name Hoshioki originates from a possible transformation of the Ainu language term 'So-pok', reflecting the indigenous heritage of Hokkaido.
Visitors can reach the waterfall by taking a JR Hokkaido bus from Sapporo Station to the Hoshioki Falls stop, followed by a 5-minute walk.
The waterfall sits at the apex of an alluvial fan, creating a geological formation that influences the surrounding landscape patterns.
