[知床八景]走上熱瀑布!Walk up to the warm Kamuiwakka Waterfall

不必學忍者,就可以「走」上溫熱的カムイワッカの滝(Kamuiwakka)瀑布!
Even though I'm not a ninja, it's easy to WALK UP to WARM Kamuiwakka Waterfall!

別忘了,先留個盡責的朋友在停車處,幫忙往上照相。
Is there anyone at the parking lot who could take photos of me?



再麻煩上面的遊客,幫我們往下照相。我們感覺要流進鄂霍次克海了。
The warm water is flowing into Sea of Okhotsk, and...so am I??
看看德國泰國朋友和我的穿著,就知道跟散步一樣輕鬆。
My friends from Germany and Thailand and I are dressed as if we took a walk. How easy to go up the waterfall is!

這張是我搭觀光船拍的,Kamuiwakka瀑布直接流入鄂霍次克海。
I take this photo while I'm taking the cruise. Kamuiwakka Waterfall flows into Sea of Okhotsk.

Kamuiwakka的源頭是活火山 ─ 知床硫黃山,所以這瀑布是越爬水越熱(至少30°C)。
Kamuiwakka Waterfall derives from Volcano Iou; therefore, the upper we go, the warmer the water is (about 30°C).
這張是我出海釣魚的時候拍的。
用腳愛過知床的大自然,再從海上看到自己的足跡,真的很感動!
I take the photo while I'm going fishing.
I'm touched when I watch where I've gone hiking.

 我一看到晚餐,這......是要慶祝什麼嗎?這真的只是當地人日常料理嗎?
I'm astonished at my dinner! It's just the dinner for family.



[心得 What I learned from Kamuiwakka waterfall?]

七月開車去的時候,很納悶這個觀光景點居然是石頭路,塵土揚起,好像在拍電影侏儸紀公園。
In July, I drove to Kamuiwakka on the muddy, dusty gravel road as if I had been in the movie Jurassic Park.

八九月有交通管制,卻只能搭公車。
Some weeks in August and September, buses only.

很奇怪不是嗎?
八月還有日本國內旅遊旺季お盆連休,這麼麻煩的交通和原始的道路,是不想賺錢了嗎?
It's so strange, isn't it?
August is also a high season for domestic travel. Don't the troublesome traffic control and roads bother tourists?

我得到的答案是:
「不想讓熊吸入過多二氧化碳!」
The answer:
They don't want bears to inhale too much carbon dioxide.


[指南 Guide]
  1. 費用:停車、遊玩、臨時廁所3間,全部免費(無料)。 parking lot, waterfall area, and portable toilets are all free.
  2. 時間:
    1. 約6-10月開放。open from June to October.
    2. 入口走到「一の滝」(相片中我所在處)約10分鐘。It costs me 10 minutes to walk from entrance up to the first waterfall, Ichinotaki.
    3. 往上的溫泉有可能因落石不開放。 the upper onsen will be close if there are rocks. 
  3. 裝備:
    1. 空出兩手保持平衡,繩子有可能因酸性泉水腐蝕,不要去拉。Be empty-handed to keep balance. Don't pull the ropes which may corrode because of acidic onsen.
    2. 帶小毛巾擦腳穿鞋。Bring a towel.
  4. 行程:距離知床五湖11公里,排一起。管制期開車和重機族停五湖再搭公車來回。
  5. 醫療:過敏者注意泉水屬酸性。不建議夾腳拖,行動電話有可能收不到訊號,而且救護車要30分鐘以上才會到。
  6. 熊對策:知床整個都是熊熊生息地,西班牙朋友就在這附近遇到熊。
