Hello COOL JAPAN VIDEOS viewers!
Nishiokoppe Village This is Kurashima, Regional Revitalization Cooperation Volunteers in charge of tourism.

I would like to deliver the charm of Hokkaido Nishiokoppe Village [tourist information]! Thank you in advance.

Hokkaido Nishiokoppe Village is located inland in the Sea of Okhotsk in the eastern Hokkaido region, has a population of 1,002 as of the end of July 2023 Reiwa 5, and forests account for about 90% of the village's area.
The contrast with forests and snowy landscapes is beautiful, and the walls of major buildings such as public facilities are unified in orange.

The temperature difference in our village is large, and it can be -20 degrees Celsius in winter and over 30 degrees Celsius in summer.
Although it is a harsh natural environment, it is full of hidden areas and sightseeing spots such as rich nature and waterfalls!

Then, Hokkaido Nishiokoppe Village
Here are some of the attractive sightseeing spots.

The "Ice Tunnel" at the foot of the Mt. Uenshiri is a fantastic popular tourist destination where the ice world spreads!
The tunnel created by the water flowing down due to the melting snow in spring is located in a mountain valley, so the ice does not melt even in summer, showing a mysterious world.
It is usually closed due to the risk of collapse, but in July this year, it was opened for one day only for the first time in four years.

"Roadside Station Nishiokoppe Kamu" is a spot where a flower park and Roadside Station are fused!

In the Roadside Station building, there is a wooden contraption organ "Otogibayashi" that plays sound with the power of the wind, which is rare in Japan, and the shop also sells dairy products such as soft-serve ice cream using grass-fed milk from Nishikobu, as well as processed Yezo sika deer products processed skin products, pet food, etc..

In the attached flower park, you can enjoy a garden based on the concept of a "natural garden" that reproduces natural plants and flowers that grow according to the climate and climate of the Nishiokoppe Village.

Located about 10 minutes by car from the Roadside Station Nishiokoppe Kamu, the Forest Museum Komu is an art museum based on the concepts of "seeing," "touching," "playing," and "creating."
Not only are about 3,000 wooden toys and works on display, but you can also actually touch and play with large wooden playground equipment.

Among them, the "wooden sandbox" containing 160,000 wooden balls is a popular work! You can enjoy the woodworking bath surrounded by the scent of wood.
In addition to seeing, you can also experience actually making it at the "Woodworking Experience Class"!
Enjoy a luxurious time to experience art in the forest.

The sightseeing spot "Gyoja no Taki" where you can feel the power of nature is a waterfall with a drop of 20 meters.
At the end of the Meiji era, it began to be called Gyono Falls because there was a woman who prayed for the cure of her parents' intractable illness after being struck by the waterfall.
In the upper reaches of Gyoja Falls, there is the beautiful brick-colored riverbed "Akaiwa Falls" and the "Kuroiwa Falls" that flows through the primeval forest of the Ezo spruce, and you can enjoy three waterfalls on one route.

Next, we will introduce campsites where you can enjoy magnificent nature and the outdoors!

The Forest Park will undergo large-scale renovation work over two years, 2022 Reiwa 4 and five years, and preparations are underway for the renewal and opening of the 2024 Reiwa 6, including the maintenance of tent sites and the installation of new playground equipment.
In 2023 Reiwa 5, the tent site is available until October 15, but the playground equipment cannot be used.
In addition, there is a paid log house in the park that can be used all year round, and a BBQ house that can be used for day trips.

Surrounded by primeval forest, "Uenshiri Campground" is a recommended campsite for wild camping because there are no cooking facilities.
Like the Ice Tunnel, it is located in Mt. Uenshiri and offers free access to one bungalow that can accommodate up to 10 people.
In addition, there is a risk of brown bears around the primeval forest, so be careful when using it.

Nishiokoppe Village is also known for the guitar factory "Okhotsk Musical Instrument Industry", where instruments with beautiful tones are born.
Okhotsk Musical Instrument Industry, which was founded in the form of taking over the timber company, currently produces 20,000 guitar bodies a year.
There is also a showroom in the annex of the guitar factory that you can enter for free, so you can feel free to visit it.

Access to the Nishiokoppe Village is
It takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes from Haneda Airport to Okhotsk Monbetsu Airport.
From the Osaka area, from Kansai International Airport and Osaka International Airport, take New Chitose Airport about 1 hour 50 minutes, take JR to Asahikawa Station about 2 hours 10 minutes, transfer to JR Limited Express and get off at Nayoro about 1 hour, and take a bus to Nishiokoppe Village about 1 hour.
It takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes by bus from Okhotsk Monbetsu Airport to Nishiokoppe Village.

Beautiful scenery such as ice tunnels, delicious food, etc.
You can enjoy a variety of experiences in Nishiokoppe Village.
We will continue to tell you about the charm of Hokkaido Nishiokoppe Village,
Thank you in advance!

【Three waterfalls in the Nishiokoppe Village】 The other day, it is also a tourist attraction in Nishiokoppe Village. I went to "Gyoja Falls", "Akaiwa Falls", and "Kuroiwa Falls". This time, I would like to post about "Gyoja Falls"! Take Route 239 onto the mountain road As you go along, the first thing you will encounter is Gyoja Falls. When you get out of the car in front of a stone slab with some kind of explanation, I could hear the cool sound of the waterfall! One day in August, I couldn't stand the intense heat. There were adults who were struck by the waterfall in T-shirts and shorts, or not. Next time, I will introduce Akaiwa Falls.

Higashikawa, Hokkaido, is located in the central part of Hokkaido and is an attractive town full of the blessings of nature.
It is conveniently located about 10 minutes by car from Asahikawa Airport to the center of Higashikawa Town.

Higashikawa Town, Hokkaido is a town without a water supply, which is rare in Japan.
The beautiful natural water created by the snowmelt of the Daisetsuzan mountain range seeps deep underground and is used as water for daily life in the town, restaurants, and various other places.
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.

The facilities around Asahidake Onsen do not have a hot spring town, and the scenery is maintained, such as height restrictions and regular intervals.
Day trip bathing is also possible, so please stop by when climbing or hiking.
While soaking in the hot springs, you can spend a luxurious time admiring the natural scenery.

What do you think is this one that sits at the entrance of the tourist guide center? The correct answer is the "lignite seam" that is the basis of Mole Onsen. It was created by the accumulation of plants such as reeds that grew naturally on the banks of the Tokachi River in ancient times. Springing out through this lignite seam is the plant-based mall hot spring. The collaboration of humus humic substances contained in lignite and alkali gives a smooth and mild spring quality, which is why it is called a beautiful hot spring. Please come 🥰 and enter Mall Onsen, which is registered as a Hokkaido Heritage Site.

I would like to deliver the charm of Hokkaido Nishiokoppe Village [tourist information]! Thank you in advance. Hokkaido Nishiokoppe Village is located inland in the Sea of Okhotsk in the eastern Hokkaido region, has a population of 1,002 as of the end of July 2023 Reiwa 5, and forests account for about 90% of the village's area.

The temperature difference in our village is large, and it can be -20 degrees Celsius in winter and over 30 degrees Celsius in summer. Although it is a harsh natural environment, it is full of hidden areas and sightseeing spots such as rich nature and waterfalls! Then, Hokkaido Nishiokoppe Village Here are some of the attractive sightseeing spots. The "Ice Tunnel" at the foot of the Mt. Uenshiri is a fantastic popular tourist destination where the ice world spreads! The tunnel created by the water flowing down due to the melting snow in spring is located in a mountain valley, so the ice does not melt even in summer, showing a mysterious world. It is usually closed due to the risk of collapse, but in July this year, it was opened for one day only for the first time in four years. "Roadside Station Nishiokoppe Kamu" is a spot where a flower park and Roadside Station are fused!

Located in Noboribetsu City, Hokkaido, "Noboribetsu Bear Park Noboribetsu Mabokujo" is a ranch where the rich nature and cute bears welcome you at the top of a Mt. Shihorei where Lake Kuttara is located.
In this post, we will inform you about the details of the Noboribetsu Bear Park and sightseeing in the surrounding area.

First of all, we will introduce the facility information of Noboribetsu Bear Park.
As of 2023, Noboribetsu Bear Park has about 70 brown bears in captivity.
There are several exhibits of Ezo brown bears in the bear farm, and you can see male brown bears at Farm 1, female brown bears at Farm 2, and 0-year-old cubs at Baby Bear Farm end of April ~ beginning of December.

Bears in Ranch 1 and Ranch 2 can be given bear treats. Enjoy the feeding experience with cute bears begging for treats!

The male bears in the first farm are much larger than the females and beg for snacks leisurely. In addition, there is a "human cage" where you can observe bears at close range through the glass, so you can enjoy watching bears carefully. Please enjoy a commemorative photo with the bear through the glass.

The female bears in Ranch No. 2 are very active, standing on two legs, lying down, and begging for treats in fancy poses. You can observe the movement, dexterity and cleverness of the bear.
In addition, the second farm also holds individual replacement events for "young bears" and "veteran bears" on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.

In addition, we hold "Bear Athletics" twice a day where you can see bears' abilities such as excellent sense of balance and manual dexterity, such as "log walking" and "forage hunting" by bears.
In addition to bears, "squirrel enclosure" also raises Eurasian red squirrel and chipmunks.

Ducks are raised at the duck racing course, and you can watch duck races 6 times a day. If you successfully hit the target of the duck that finishes with one dress, you will receive original goods.

Bear Farm has plenty of other facilities to enjoy!

On the second floor, there is also a trick art corner where brown bears jump out.
Please enjoy taking a commemorative photo.
