北海道白老。この日、私たちはこの土地の地勢を象徴する場所を目指す旅に出る。老岳人の示す道の先にあるのは、別名を悪魔の滝とも称される秘瀑「社台滝」。森の静寂に溶けあう自分達の音を聴きながら、河を上り、笹藪をかき分け深い森の奥へと進んでいく。木立の間を抜ける風の声、苔むした岩の手ざわり、足をすくう急流の感触。そうして辿り着いた壮大な風景が、この場所を訪れた人々の胸に小さな灯火をともす。

Shiraoi, Hokkaido. On this day, we embark on a journey to a place that symbolises the geography of this land. The old mountain man's path leads us to the Shadai Falls, a secret waterfall also known as the Devil's Falls. Listening to their own sounds melting into the silence of the forest, they ascend the river, wade through the bamboo thickets and continue deep into the forest. The sound of the wind through the trees, the touch of the mossy rocks, the feel of the rushing water as it sweeps past our feet. The magnificent scenery that they arrive at lights up the hearts of those who visit this place.
