Sounkyo is a touristy hot spring resort town in the north of Daisetsuzan National Park. It's located in a scenic, narrow gorge with a pleasant village center, onsen baths and 2 beautiful waterfalls nearby. I didn't get to go to the waterfalls because the trails were closed due to heavy snow. However, I enjoyed the outdoor onsen baths at the resort hotel very much.
