Kaminokoike (child of the gods) Pond got its name from stories that it is fed by underground waters from Lake Mashuko, which is known as Kamuito (Lake of the Gods) by the Ainu people.
You can watch cherry salmon struggle to swim upstream in July and August.
It's just amazing to see the clear blue surface of Lake Mashuko. You can also enjoy watching the trees reflecting themselves on the crystal clear blue lake.
It's a mysterious waterfall without a river upstream located deep in the mountain of Kiyosato-Cho. The water comes down from Mt. Shari and it emerges from the rocks at a rate of 30,000 tons per day.
