No general vehicles allowed due to environmental protection
Hoheikyo Dam is located in the Shikotsu-Toya National Park, and for environmental protection reasons, general vehicles, motorcycles, and bicycles are prohibited from entering the 2-km distance from the entrance to the dam all year round, so visitors must walk or take an electric bus.
The trail on foot takes about 30 minutes one way from the parking lot to the dam, and the Kudan Falls and various plants can be seen along the way, depending on the season.
Hoheikyo Gorge
There are many places of interest in the Toyohira Gorge, including the restaurant halfway up the mountain, the lift car and observation deck to the observatory, the Kamui Nisei Bridge that crosses the passage above the dam, and the Kudan Falls.
