北海道随一の大瀑布、賀老の滝

北海道南部、渡島半島の狩場山地に有る落差70m、幅30mの滝。北海道島牧村を流れる千走川の上流、賀老渓谷の奥に位置する。相応規模にも関わらず、滝壺が無く辺りの森林中にも轟音が響き渡る場所。その様相から龍神の滝、飛龍の滝とも呼ばれる。近隣に狩場山登山口へ繋がる林道・キャンプ場が有るが、冬は閉鎖。冬季到達には往復十数時間の徒歩移動を要する。

Garo Falls, Hokkaido’s greatest waterfall.

A 70 m drop and 30 m wide waterfall in the Kariba Mountains of the Oshima Peninsula in southern Hokkaido. Located in the upper reaches of the Chishiri River, which flows through Shimamaki Village, Hokkaido, deep in Garou Gorge. Despite its size, there is no waterfall basin and the roar of the waterfall echoes through the surrounding forest. It is also called Ryujin no Taki (Dragon God) Falls or Hiryu no Taki (Flying Dragon Falls) because of its appearance. There are forest roads and campgrounds nearby that lead to the trailhead of Mount Kariba, but they are closed in winter. To reach it in winter requires a round-trip walk of more than ten hours.
