Oketo, Hokkaido
Aug. 31, 2023
Nice to meet you all!
This is the Industrial Promotion Division of the Oketo Town Town Hall.
We will tell everyone who watches the COOL JAPAN VIDEOS the charm of Hokkaido Oketo Town, so thank you!

This is my first post, and I would like to introduce what kind of town Oketo Town is and deliver the charm of Oketo Town!
Hokkaido Tokoro DistrictOketo Town is a peaceful town surrounded by beautiful nature located in the eastern part of Hokkaido with a population of 2,669 (as of January 31, 2023).

There are plenty of opportunities to interact with warm people and you can feel the charm of the region.
In addition, the climate and weather of Oketo Town is characterized by a large temperature difference between day and night, and little snow and rain.

Access to the Oketo Town is convenient by combining airplane and car!
It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes by car from Memanbetsu Airport (Ozora Town) to Oketo Town, and driving while surrounded by nature is the real pleasure of a pleasant trip.
By bus, take the Kitami Bus (Memanbetsu Airport Line) from Memanbetsu Airport (Ozora Town) and transfer to the Kitami Bus Terminal (Rikubetsu Line) at Kitami Bus Terminal (Kitami City) for a total of about 1 hour and 40 minutes Oketo Town.

Next, we will introduce the sightseeing spots and ways to enjoy Oketo Town where you can enjoy different expressions throughout the year!

●Lake Oketo, Kanoko Dam (Kanoko Dam)
"Oketo Lake" is an artificial lake created by damming the Shikanoko Dam.
With a circumference of 13.4 km, there are many wild birds and wild grasses, and it is one of the attractions.
You can also enjoy fishing in the lake! In summer, you can enjoy mountain trout and American trout, and in late December ~ mid-February, you can also enjoy "Japanese smelt fishing". (There is no rental of fishing gear, so please prepare your own fishing gear and tent.) ）

●Rainbow Falls
Shikanokozawa, located downstream of the Shikanoko Dam, has a magnificent natural beauty.
One of them, the 13-meter-high Rainbow Falls, is popular for its picturesque scenery!
Trees and flowers are in full bloom around the waterfall, and it is a spot visited by many photographers.
In winter, Rainbow Falls is lit up and icefall tours are held.

●Oke Craft Center "Forest Craft Museum"
"Oke Craft" is a regional craft brand in Oketo Town.
The activity began in 1983 by combining "oke" (bending tub), which was produced as a local industry, "oke" of Oketo Town, and "craft".
24 private workshops in Oketo Town produce tableware and other items that can be used in everyday life.
Okecraft can also be purchased from the website.
At the Forest Craft Museum, we exhibit and sell products made in the area, such as plant dyeing, as well as oke crafts! You can also tour the production scenery and facilities.

"Okecraft" is also popular as a thank-you gift for Oketo Town Furusato Nozei!
The texture of the wood, such as the couple's bowl made of Ezo spruce and the mouth-watering cutlery, is outstanding.
Please check the Furusato Nozei sites.

●Oketo Katsuyama Onsen Yuyu
"Oketo Katsuyama Onsen Yuyu" is a facility full of attractions such as accommodation, hot springs, gourmet food, and sightseeing.
There are 4 cottages in total, and you can enjoy the camping feeling with free BBQ space.

In addition, there are plenty of sightseeing spots such as oke and lake around the facility.

? Recommended spots ? in Taiki Town autumn The place where you can feel autumn in Taiki Town is "Sakashita Sensakai" where you can see beautiful autumn leaves. It's a little far away, so I'll show you how to get there! (1) If you run on the Shimizu Taiki Line (Hokkaido Route 55) from the upper Satsunai, you will see the sign on the right, and if you are coming from Taiki, you will see the sign on the left, so turn along the arrow. (2nd photo) (2) The orange bridge "Bikei Bridge" will come into view, so we will pass it. (3rd photo) (3) On the way, the road changes from paved road to gravel road, but if you continue on, you will see the orange bridge "Sakashita Ohashi", so you will pass it. (4th photo) (4) When you pass another gray bridge, you will see dairy farmers. A little further past the dairy farmer, there is a road divided into right and left, but please proceed towards the sign on the left. The sign says "Rekifune River tributary forest road" and you enter the forest road. (Photos 5 and 6) (5) Continue on the forest road for a while. When it rains, there are places that get muddy, and there are times when broken trees are falling, so go slowly. (7th photo) (6) I arrived at the "Hikata Bridge" over the Sakashita Senkai. (8th photo) There is a little space on the right after crossing the bridge, so you can park or make a U-turn. Visit Taiki's topic article "How to get to "Sakashita Senzai"" has more detailed directions, so please refer to it and go feel the autumn!

The Yakachi River in Handa City, Aichi Prefecture, is a fantastic sight where more than 3 million red spider liliies trees grown by local people are covered with a bright red carpet over a total length of about 1.5 km. In the midst of such a red spider liliies in full bloom, a mock wedding ceremony and bride procession event was held. The smiling faces of the two people were a wonderful event.

Kamakura in late autumn, Meigetsu-in. It is a temple that is always visited during the maple season. Round windows are also called windows of enlightenment, and they give peace of mind while reflecting different landscapes in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Maybe it's Nanbu ironware, but the iron kettle draws a beautiful silhouette.
