Kamuy Kotan
A Picturesque Spot Representing Asahikawa, Also Magnificent During Autumn Foliage
Meaning "the place where gods reside" in the Ainu language, Kamui Kotan was also selected as one of the "Eight Scenic Views of Asahikawa" in 1997 (Heisei 9), a collection of the city's most representative landscapes. From early to mid-October, Japanese rowan, Mongolian oak, and maple trees display vibrant autumn colors. Furthermore, along the approximately 10-kilometer stretch of the Ishikari River's rapids that flow through the Kamui Kotan area, rugged and bizarre rocks stand out. It's a renowned spot not only for its stunning autumn foliage but also as a place widely cherished by the local residents.
