The Ryusei Falls and Ginga Falls are located in the Daisetsuzan National Park in Hokkaido.
The Ginga Falls and the Ryusei Falls can be seen separately from the parking lot, but in order to take a picture of both of them, you have to climb up the mountain to an observatory called "Soubaku Dai".
First, you can park at the parking lot and see Ryusei Falls and Ginga Falls one by one.
The entrance to the waterfall platform is behind the store.
Continue up the stairs and walk through the mountains to the Soubaku Dai (Observation deck).
On the way, there is a place where you can see two waterfalls in the middle of the mountain.
The Soubaku Dai (Observation deck) is not that well maintained, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk up one way.
