溫泉瀑布 & 河童像 / Yu-no Taki & Kappa statues

就在緊鄰定山源泉公園旁的「溫泉瀑布」可看到溫泉水從大岩石上流下。在那裝飾著姿態為泡在溫泉中放鬆的河童像（河童是日本傳說中的生物）。在定山溪溫泉街（位於札幌市南區）到處裝飾著獨特的河童像，因此在溫泉街邊散步邊觀賞這些河童像十分有意思。

Yu-no Taki is located near Jozankei Gensen Park at Jozankei hot springs (Sapporo City Minami-ku - Southern Ward). Yu means hot water and taki means waterfall. At Yu-no Taki, hot water pours down a black rock face, while a resting kappa (imaginary creature of Japanese folklore) is there. The kappa looks relaxed in the hot water as it is lying there. It is an enjoyable and relaxing activity to walk around Jozankei hot springs, and find as many of the kappa statues as you can. Please remember that some of them are buried in snow in the winter.
