A waterfall along Route 334 on the way to Utoro from Shari town.

It is also called Futami Falls because it flows down bifurcated from the middle. Stairs are maintained from the waterfall to the observation point, and from the observation deck set above the waterfall, the view of the falling waterfall and the Sea of Okhotsk is wonderful. It is one of the eight views of Shiretoko, and has also been selected as one of the 100 waterfalls in Japan.
