In agriculture, delicious rice and vegetables are grown using the abundant water resources, and the taste is exceptional. One of the attractions of Higashikawa Town in Hokkaido is its proud hot springs. In Higashikawa Town, Hokkaido, there are two hot spring resorts, Asahidake Onsen and Tenjinkyo Onsen, both of which are located in Daisetsuzan National Park.
