The Hagoromo Waterfall (Hagoromo-no-taki [羽衣の滝]; Hagoromo Falls or "Angel's Robe Falls") sits on the western side of Daisetsuzan National Park in the Tenninkyo Gorge. This one is said to drop some 270m in multiple steps comprised of sheets of water giving it the appearance of an angel's robe as the kanji translation seems to suggest. Aside from the multitude of man-modified waterfalls scattered around this falls, there's also another natural one nearby called the Shikishima Waterfall. Unfortunately, bear activity closed the trail, and with strong discouragement from Julie, we opted not to hop the barricade and proceed further so we didn't get a chance to see it.
From the onsen complex by Tenninkyo, we followed a very well-developed 600m path to a bridge where the stream from the waterfall flowed underneath. This path took us by a few man-modified waterfalls on the main river, but once we got to the bridge, we were able to see some of the falls from just beyond it as it was fronted by its own stream below.
However, we weren't satisfied with this view so we went up some stairs (just before the bridge), which led to a viewing platform at its end giving us a more direct view of the waterfall.
It took us about 45 minutes round trip to do this excursion, which was pleasantly quiet and naturesque. The walk was mostly flat alongside the river with the lone exception being the stairs to the upper overlook.
Directions: It's about a 30- to 45-minute drive from Asahikawa to the car park at the onsen complex by Tenninkyo. I believe we took the 1160 then the 213 to go the roughly 42km to get here.
