Toming Park In the northernmost Yoshino cherry colony, Bibai City Tomei Park, about 2,000 cherry trees such as Yoshino cherry blossoms, Ezoyama cherry blossoms, Chishima cherry blossoms, and Yaezakura trees welcome you. There are various cherry blossoms in the park that bloom at different times, making it a spot where you can enjoy cherry blossoms for a long time. There is also a rare cherry blossom with a single red line on the petals, making it a space where you can be enveloped in various cherry blossom colors and scents. About 2,000 cherry blossoms and 5,000 azaleas bloom in the park in spring, and the lotus in the pond has cute flowers in summer, and in autumn it is a spot for autumn leaves, showing the expressions of each of the four seasons and delighting visitors. Tomei Park was opened in September 1963 as a place of relaxation for citizens. In Showa 43, 200 cherry trees were planted to make it a famous place for cherry blossoms. Since then, various organizations have planted cherry blossoms, azaleas, maples, etc., and their flowers are still blooming beautifully. In addition, I find it even more attractive to see Yoshino Somei living hard even in the harsh environment of the northernmost limit. In the past, Tomei Park, which became famous as the place where the cherry blossoms bloom at the end of the song "Sakura" sung by singer Naotaro Moriyama in the recording of a TV program, is located in the hilly area of Tomei, Bibai City, and is crowded with many visitors from outside the city every year during the cherry blossom season.

Haskap hunting In the idyllic countryside surrounded by nature, there is a haskap field with dark purple berries that bear fruit like bells. Bibai City is the production area of "haskap", which boasts the highest harvest in Japan, and you can enjoy haskap picking experience at many farms in the city during the season of June ~ July. Haskap, which is famous as a healthy fruit, contains a lot of vitamins, calcium, iron, etc., and is said to be effective in preventing anemia, sensitivity to cold, eye strain, as well as spots and freckles, and was once prized as a "fruit of immortality and longevity" in Ainu culture. Haskap, a precious fruit grown only in a limited area of Hokkaido, is also called the "phantom fruit" or "pearl of the north." The haskap hunting experience is held for about one month from the end of June every year.

Bibai Yakitori Bibai City, which once flourished as a coal mine, has a number of soul foods that locals love. One of them is "Bibai Yakitori", which has been loved as a source of stamina for coal miners. The best feature is the "motsu skewers" that contain several types of motsu, chicken skin, and thighs on one skewer. This unique style was born at a store called "Mifune" around Showa 30 and has been inherited by several stores in the city. The biggest feature of Bibai's yakitori is that it is all sticking liver, hearts, gizzards, kumquats, etc., chicken skin, and thighs on a skewer, and if you cut a chicken, you can eat it all deliciously without waste. A variety of textures and flavors spread in the mouth, and it has a very deep taste. The order of skewering is the skin at the bottom, the next is the onion like Hokkaido, the next is the motsu, the onion is again, and the last is the thigh meat. Onions are a specialty of Bibai, and when baked, the sweetness increases and goes well with chicken. There are skewers on the menu that are only meat, but customers overwhelmingly order "motsu skewers". When ordering yakitori, Bibai usually orders large quantities in units of 10 bottles. It is normal for each person to eat 10 or 20 bottles. Seasoning is simple with salt and pepper. Let's become a Bibai citizen and enjoy the deliciousness of the whole chicken.

Arrangement Currently, you can eat torimeshi at several restaurants such as drive-ins and restaurants in Bibai City, but even if the general method of cooking chicken and rice together is the same, the seasoning and detailed recipe are different. Its roots come from the fact that farmers who settled in the reclamation of Hokkaido raised chickens to supplement their livelihood and began to use the precious chickens as hospitality dishes. Rice, stir-fried meat, and motsu are cooked with soy sauce, sugar, and sake, and the rice crumbs soaked in the extract shine a glossy candy color. Because it uses almost no other ingredients or seasonings, it has a strong chicken flavor in both aroma and taste, and has a unique personality that is different from other mixed rice. In Nakamura-cho, a rural village located along the Ishikari River in Bibai City, farmers' mothers continue to inherit this tradition and continue to cook traditional torimeshi without additives every morning in order to protect and spread the local taste. Torimeshi, which has become a staple for Bibai residents, is sold not only at homes but also at several restaurants and supermarkets in the city, and it is one of the pleasures to compare the flavors of the local area.

[Villagers Cultural Festival 2023] "There's a village culture festival in November," he said. I can't believe there is such a festival...! I was surprised. In Nishikobe Village, a cultural festival was held over three days. November 1~2 is only on display, On the 3rd, there will be a presentation in the community center area, an award ceremony, and a stage presentation. The hotel that is the venue is connected to the community center and library. In the library area, a used book market was held. Sometimes, the books that the villagers give away end up in the hands of the villagers who are close to them. While enjoying exhibitions such as ikebana and pictures and letters In the tea room, I was able to taste Japanese sweets and tea. This year, for the first time, There was also a recitation by the puppet theater Circle Doremi and a storytelling of picture books. Surrounded by sunlight shining through the ceiling window I gradually became immersed in the world of spoken word plays and picture books. In addition to volunteer bands, junior high school brass bands, and piano performances on stage, In Nishikobe Village, the standard "flash mental arithmetic" was performed by children who attend the abacus class. For adults, it is a valuable place to make presentations. It was a cultural festival full of excitement and excitement.

🌊 Do you know what a pillbox is? 🌊 "Pillbox" means "dot or point" in Russian, and is a small defensive position made of concrete or other materials to protect a militarily important base. Many pillboxes on the Pacific coast of Taiki Town were built at the end of the Pacific War in preparation for the landing of U.S. troops on the mainland, but they were never used and the war ended. Many of them still exist because they are made of solid concrete, etc., and although they have been eroded by waves, rain and wind, they still remain as historically valuable war ruins. Some are by the sea, some are half buried in the sand, some are inland, and so on. The pillbox, which is called "Asahihama's pillbox" and is surrounded by windbreaks, is maintained and can be visited, so please go there. ⚠️ There are many places around the pillbox that have bad roads, such as sandy beaches, so please be careful when going by car.
