Located in the district of Ashibetsu you can a nice little park called Sandandaki Park. It is located along route 245. This route is often used on the way to Furano (a popular sightseeing town) or to Ashibetsu so the park serves well as a stop over or rest area for those driving along. What makes this park a popular spot are the Sandan Falls, which are only a five minute stroll from the large carpark. The path makes for a pleasant stroll as it is surrounded by forest area, with the river flowing down on the left hand side.

The river in question is the Ashibetsu River. It flows for sixty kilometres, and runs through to the city of Ashibetsu itself. The Sandan Falls can be found around halfway along the Ashibetsu river not far from the park. The falls can range from a small trickle to a raging torrent during spring after the snowmelt. The river is especially beautiful during the spring with a couple of cherry blossoms and in autumn with the foliage along the river. Sandandaki Park has restrooms next to the parking lot, and there are benches to take a seat and enjoy the view.
