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. "Tenjinkyo Onsen" is also popular for its efficacy against diabetes and arteriosclerosis. There are two hot spring facilities as of June 2023, and you can stay overnight or take a day trip.

You can also exhibit seasonal highlights, AR displays, and virtual experiences of Daisetsuzan with VR goggles. ・Daisetsu Asahidake Gensui Park It is a park where the natural water of Higashikawa Town, which is rich in calcium and minerals, springs out. Snowmelt water from the Daisetsuzan mountain range can freely draw spring water that has been naturally filtered over hundreds of years. ・Daisetsuzan Asahidake Ropeway A 10-minute aerial walk from Asahidake Ropeway Sanroku Station at an altitude of 1,100 meters to Katami Station at an altitude of 1,600 meters offers a magnificent view and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the four seasons.

Asahidake, and from the summit you can see the Mt. Tokachi mountain range, Mt. Ashibetsu, and Mt. Hotkanbetsudake in a 360-degree panoramic view. ・Canmore Ski Village Kitoushi Forest Park This ski resort is located in Kitoushi Forest Park, a 15-minute drive from Asahikawa Airport.

The natural environment is the perfect place to live a stress-free life. We also offer the "Higashikawa Town Migration Experience" that allows you to live for 3 months to 1 year. There is also a town-run Japanese language school, where about 600 foreigners reside, and we are also focusing on supporting international students.

kominka Cafe Jorro I had pancakes and cold brew iced coffee. Every menu is attractive, such as curry and cakes that use mainly local ingredients and do not use chemical seasonings! The coffee beans are made from Morihiko in Sapporo, and the pancakes and coffee were very delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant and the taste of the food were ✨ great.

Tokachigawa Onsen's popular ramen shop "Denraku" I had spicy miso hot noodles! Normally, I often line up before entering the store, but on this day, I was lucky enough to be able to sit down easily. The soup is also full of ingredients! The noodles are homemade noodles made from Tokachi wheat "Yumechikara". Choose thick noodles, they have a firm texture and are delicious! It was hot until the end, and I had soup. You can also order a zosui set for +310 yen. Address: 15-1 Tokachigawa Onsenkita Otofuke Kawahigashi-gun, Hokkaido Closed: Tuesdays 11：00〜21：00 / L.O 20:30

At the beginning of June, the still lush wheat fields turn golden and the harvest is about to begin. It is the largest producer of wheat Otofuke in Japan. In the field after harvesting, barley culm rolls which become beds for cows are ready. The harvested wheat is transformed into delicious bread and udon noodles. There are many delicious bakeries and cake shops in Tokachi. The price is also very reasonable, with bread in the 100 yen range and cake in the 200 yen range. When you see the crops that are actually grown in this way, you develop a sense of gratitude for what you eat.

【Moor Hot Spring Firefly Viewing】 Glowworms grown in the water of the Mole hot spring perform a dance of light. In the past, I was able to see fireflies around Tokachigawa Onsen. However, with the modernization of the city, the environment in which fireflies can live has decreased, and it is no longer possible to see fireflies at the end of the 1990 Heisei 2 summer. The purpose of the revival of the firefly at Tokachigawa Onsen is to bring back the early summer scene that was previously common. One of the major features of the regeneration of fireflies is the use of hot spring water as a water source, and the spring quality of Tokachigawa Onsen is a rare "plant-based mall hot spring" in the world that contains a lot of plant components. Because it contains plant components, it contains a lot of minerals that are essential for the reproduction of diatoms, which are food for snails. This is the first time in Japan that fireflies have been successfully regenerated using 100% hot spring water. Heike fireflies were distributed from Kyushu to Hokkaido, Eastern Siberia and Korea, and inhabited many waterside environments surrounding wetlands and rice paddies. The characteristic of Hokkaido's fireflies is that the interval between their emission tends to be longer than that of fireflies in Honshu. Period:7/8Sat~7/23Sun Time: 20:00~21:00 Location: Tokachigaoka Park

Today the weather was better than the forecast and we could see the blue sky, so we went there on our bikes! Although there were many clouds, I could 🤩 see the Hidaka Mountains and the Tokachi Plain. You can see balloons in the early morning, and it is also a ✨ beautiful spot for sunsets.

A sweets lover's paradise! "Yanagitsuki Sweet Pier Garden" It is an ✨ entertainment spot where you can sell, café, experience and tour the factory. This store sells "Sanpo Roku no Hajikko" at a bargain price every morning, and there is a line before the store opens. 1kg is 550 yen ~ 650 yen, which is a considerable volume! The store-limited "Kinagoromo Soft" is an irresistible dish for Japanese lovers that contains furufuru kinako mochi and red bean paste. At the eat-in space, you can enjoy azuki tea and coffee for free! The three sides and six benches in the garden looked real and delicious 😋.

Otofuke ran the melody line! However, it does not mean that music is played. I thought 😊 so at first. It is the name of the town road connecting Tokachigawa Onsen and the city of Otofuke, and is named after the "sound" of "Otofuke". There are many lovely scenery, such as the Otofuke countryside, the straight road leading to the mountain range, and the sunflower fields in autumn. With a total length of about 15 km, it is a very pleasant road to drive or cycle! There are ups and downs, so electric assist is recommended for bicycles. The Tourism Association offers assisted bicycles! Please run ♬ the Otofuke melody line. ⛔ Please do not enter the fields.

【Butahage Roadside Station Otodanke Store】 At a popular pork bowl restaurant with its main store in Obihiro, I had a pork soup set. Not only was the pork bowl delicious, but the pork soup with rumbling vegetables served in a bowl larger than the bowl was very delicious! A dish where you can enjoy plenty of soybeans and vegetables, which are specialties of the Otofuke. The pork soup set was sold out before noon. Tokachi's vegetables are really delicious, so I would like 😊 everyone to eat them.
