星置瀑布 / Hoshioki Falls

星置瀑布（位於札幌市手稻區）是位在和小樽市的交界處的星置川的瀑布。因為非常靠近住宅區，到訪者常常會因二者之間的反差而吃驚。小學前面的道路有入口，150公尺的山路往下走後落差12公尺的兩段瀑布便會出現。水猛烈地落到瀑布的凹處。中途會經過名為如意輪寺的無名寺廟，然而禁止入內。那裡沒有停車場。

Hoshioki Falls (Sapporo City, Teine-ku) is on the Hoshioki River, which runs along Teine’s border with Otaru City. This waterfall is located near a residential area and there is an elementary school in front of the entrance to the path leading to the waterfall. Some visitors are surprised at the sudden immersion in nature. There is a sign at the entrance informing that a 150 meter path leads to the waterfall. The two-tiered waterfall is 12 meters high, and the water falls down to the deep basin swiftly, despite it not being a big waterfall. There is a Buddhist temple along the path. As no one is in attendance there, entrance is forbidden. There is no parking.
