About Zanmae Cliffs
June is the best time for sightseeing. The mysterious spaces sculpted by nature are enchanting and captivating.
Details
In Tomakomai City, Hokkaido, there is a place where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery sculpted by nature. This is the "Tarumae Cliffs," located at the foot of Mount Tarumae, which was designated as a natural environment conservation area in 1979.
You can admire the changing scenery throughout the year, but it is especially enchanting in June, during the fresh green season. The early summer sunlight cascading into the deep riverbed illuminates the rocks covered in velvety deep green moss, creating the most beautiful sight of the year. Additionally, the clear stream's natural background music adds a sense of mystery to the entire space, making it intoxicating.
There are some important things to keep in mind when visiting. Previously, it was possible to walk down to the riverbank, but now, due to the risk of rockfalls, approaching the river is prohibited. It is also important to note that the area is a habitat for black bears. They are more active in the morning and evening, so it is best to avoid these times. It is recommended to make noise while walking to alert any nearby wildlife.
Please be sure to remember these precautions before heading out.
