It is a charming town "Assabu" located in the southern part of Hokkaido!

Hokkaido Assabu is focusing on migration and settlement, and we will help you make Assabu a new stage for your life!
In this first post, we will introduce Assabu's sightseeing spots, specialties, etc., as well as great deals on moving and settling in Assabu.

The Assabu of Hokkaido, which has a population of about 3,500, has low humidity throughout the year and abundant forests with moderate rainfall.
Since it is located in the south of Hokkaido, it is relatively warm compared to other areas in Hokkaido, and you can enjoy the atmosphere of the four seasons, and the weather is suitable for sightseeing and migration.

The highlight of Assabu is "Quail Dam Auto Campground Hatcham Forest".
The expansive green campsite is perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city and spending some quiet time in the great outdoors.
Gaze at the magnificent starry sky of Hokkaido and deepen your bonds with family and friends.
In addition, at the Tsuchibashi Nature Observation and Education Forest Reku no Mori, you can observe a wide variety of plants and small animals, and it is a spot that both adults and children can enjoy, such as field athletic recreation camps.

Don't miss the specialties of Assabu!
Assabu potato "Mae Quinn" is characterized by its unique sweetness and smooth texture, and farmers can enjoy the taste that has been painstakingly done.
In addition, Assabu's specialty "black bean tea" uses Assabu specialty large grain light black soybeans, which have rich flavor and excellent health benefits, which are loved by many people.
And Ezo Maitake mushrooms, a rare variety made only in Hokkaido, are characterized by their rich umami and high aroma, and can be used in a variety of dishes.
Although it will be easy, we have introduced the climate, sightseeing spots, gourmet and specialty information of Assabu!

Next, I will tell you about the migration and settlement information of Assabu.
The number of people who are considering moving to Assabu is increasing year by year.

Assabu has various systems in place to support migrants.
First, a migration experience program is offered, allowing you to experience life in the town temporarily.
Through this program, you can feel closer to the living environment and community of the town.

The Assabu also actively provides job information for migrants.
There are a wide range of occupations, from primary industries such as agriculture and forestry to the creation of new businesses that utilize local resources.
Migrants are provided with job placement tailored to their individual skills and experience, and can receive support to start a new career.

In addition, Assabu provides a variety of assistance schemes to support migrant livelihoods.
For example, there are substantial support to improve the quality of life, such as incentives for farmers, gifts for childbirth, and incentives for home ownership.

And Assabu nursery schools have a unique system called "Nursery School Study Abroad".
This program accepts families raising children who want to study at nursery schools from all over the country and temporarily spends time in the Assabu, so that the whole family can feel the vast nature, local life and culture.
Abundant nature, delicious food, a warm community and generous support await you.

Currently, many people want to move, but there is a problem that there is a shortage of housing such as vacant houses.
If there is anyone who can cooperate or help us to accept many immigrants and permanent residents with the aim of becoming "the most wonderful depopulated city in the world", please contact us!

In the future, we would like to send out great deals for Assabu migrants through this SNS!
Thank you in advance!

River Crossing the Heavens

Where was it filmed Biei
Biei is also famous as a spot for starscape photos, but in fact, you can see such a beautiful Milky Way anywhere you go a little away from the city.
This place was also taken in a place where it is a 15-minute walk from Biei Station.
In other words, various places become "hidden gem spots" for starscape photos.

※ Biei is called "hill town" and fields are spreading everywhere.
In other words, it's private property.
It's hard to see when it's dark, but please never go into the field.
