Hello to everyone watching Cool Japan Video—nice to meet you! This is Kyowa-cho, Hokkaido. Kyowa-cho was formed in 1955 when Ozawa Village, Maeda Village, and Hattari Village merged. It borders five towns and one village, including Iwanai-cho and the Niseko Range. The town ranks among Hokkaido’s top producers of local brand fruits such as Raiden watermelons and Raiden melons. Kyowa-cho has long been a rice-producing area, growing varieties like Nanatsuboshi and Yumepirika. Since this is our first post, today we’ll share basic information and sightseeing highlights of Kyowa-cho, Hokkaido! Climate and weather in Kyowa-cho, Hokkaido: the average temperature in January is −3.4°C, and the average in August is 21.4°C, giving mild winters and comfortable summers. The population is 5,772 (surveyed in 2020). Surrounded by lush greenery, Kyowa-cho lets you enjoy nature through all four seasons. Popular sightseeing spots in Kyowa-cho, Hokkaido Niseko Shinsen-numa Natural Recreation Forest Niseko Shinsen-numa Natural Recreation Forest is a popular destination on a plateau above 750 m. Some trails are maintained, making trekking suitable even for beginners. Viewing alpine plants such as Mitsugashiwa is another highlight. The parking area also serves as the forest’s rest facility and includes toilets and a shop. From a nearby observatory you can take in views of the Iwanai Plain and the Sea of Japan. The area contains several marshes, so visitors can enjoy a marsh-walking tour. Please note that the area is closed to traffic during the winter season from late October through late April. Shinsennuma Shinsennuma is a marsh in the Niseko range famed for its otherworldly beauty. The name Shinsennuma became popular after Toyomatsu Shimoda, founder of the Boy Scouts in Japan, visited and described it as a place where gods and immortals would dwell. The marsh changes its expression with the seasons—autumn foliage and fresh green leaves—and blooms of Ezo-kanzoso and cotton grass make Shinsennuma a place you’ll want to revisit. Onuma Onuma lies at an elevation of 850 m, framed by Mt. Weisshorn, which spans Kutchancho and Kyowa-cho, and Nitonupuri, which lies between Kutchancho and Rankoshi-machi. The natural monuments Ezo salamanders and Japanese crayfish live here. Naganuma About 20 minutes from Shinsennuma, this gourd-shaped pond is a man-made lake with a stark landscape, also serving as a reservoir. Nishimura Keiyu Memorial Art Museum This museum focuses on the works of Keio Nishimura, a Western-style painter from Kyowa-cho, and houses about 5,500 pieces, with roughly 100 on display at any time. After World War II Nishimura moved to France, where Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, Picasso’s dealer, discovered him; Nishimura based his career in Paris and received honors such as France’s Order of Arts and Letters. The museum rotates its exhibits about four times a year, letting visitors enjoy a variety of works. The museum also offers regular programs to enjoy art, and the views from the museum are a draw in themselves. Kakashi Furusato Kan Kakashi Furusato Kan was built to pass on the agricultural lifestyle and the pioneering history of Kyowa-cho to future generations. Inside, farming tools and household items are on display. The adjacent Former Horonai Elementary School has been restored and repurposed as an exhibition space, preserving the atmosphere of the original building as a historic structure. Kyowa Scarecrow Festival Held from mid- to late August, the Kyowa Scarecrow Festival lines the town with unique scarecrows. The festival features attractions such as a scarecrow contest, a music stage, character shows, and a local produce market.

Go all over the road today. For the first time, I walked from Kokubunji Temple in 80 to Neka Temple in 81. On average, it takes about 45 to 60 days to complete the entire journey, but a traveler from Hokkaido was able to walk 40 kilometers in one day, and it only took 37 days so far. Not only admired his willpower and physical strength, but also felt ashamed of his weak physical strength.

【Susukino】 Susukino is located in the center of Sapporo, the largest city in Hokkaido. Neon signs such as Nikka Highball and Sapporo Beer sparkle and it is a bustling city on weekdays and holidays. Among them, the one that stands out is the "Nikka Large Signboard". The Uncle Nikka depicted on this sign is named King of Blenders and is modeled after Sir W.P. Raleigh, a master whisky blend in 19th-century England. The signboard was installed in 1969 in conjunction with the construction of the Susukino Building in preparation for the Sapporo Winter Olympics. In fact, it was renovated in 1986, 2002, and 2013, and is now in its fourth generation. Half a century has passed, but it is still gaining popularity as a tourist spot representing Sapporo. Cafes, bars, and taverns are lined up, and the atmosphere that makes you feel good just by walking is unique to Susukino! If you come to Sapporo, be sure to go to the gourmet city of Susukino.

Well, this is a photo I took at the Kaiyukan I went to last month. There were fish, birds, and otters, and it was fun. Just looking at it was soothing. I went there on a weekday, but there were a lot of people, I thought it was a good thing ... The jellyfish part was especially good. I became nothing. I couldn't take many pictures of otters due to bad timing, but I was able to take pictures of other fish, dolphins, sea lions, etc. If you go when there are no people, please go at night. It was good that there were not many people.

HELLO TO EVERYONE WHO WATCHES COOL JAPAN VIDEOS! This is Moseushi Town, Hokkaido. Hokkaido Uryu DistrictMoseushi Town is located almost in the center of Hokkaido and is blessed with clean water from the Ishikari River system, and is a town that has prospered in rice cultivation. It is the third smallest town in Hokkaido by area, but it is full of various charms. This will be my first posting, so I will introduce Moseushi Town and provide information on popular tourist spots and specialties! The climate weather of Moseushi Town in Hokkaido is an inland climate, so it can be about 30 degrees Celsius in summer and minus 20 degrees Celsius or less in winter. The snow melts around April in an average year. Please refer to it as a measure to protect yourself from the cold when traveling. Hokkaido's Moseushi Town has a wide range of delicious gourmet dishes made with local ingredients. Next, we will deliver information on special products! The best specialty of Moseushi Town in Hokkaido is delicious rice! The "secret of its deliciousness" lies in the method of rice cultivation. In Moseushi Town, "apple mint", a type of herb, is planted on the furrow path of the rice field. Since the insect repellent effect of herbs protects rice ears from pests, the use of pesticides is minimized, and low-pesticide rice cultivation can be realized. "Kitasaika" is one of the rice made by such low-pesticide rice cultivation. "Premium Kitasaika", which is vacuum-packed "Nanatsuboshi" Hokkaido brand rice with a protein value of 6.8% or less, which is only 30% of the total harvest produced in Moseushi Town, is also recommended! In addition, apple mint is harvested and used as an ingredient in specialty products such as "From the Village of Herbs herbal liqueur" and "100% natural herbal water". The special products introduced are also delivered as a thank you gift for the Furusato Nozei tax payment in Moseushi Town, Hokkaido. We offer a variety of thank-you gifts such as a large raw dorayaki "Deka Raw" from a long-established Japanese confectionery store in Moseushi Town and "258 pickled ingredients without additives", so please check the Furusato Nozei Tax Payment site! Here are some of the most popular sightseeing spots in Moseushi Town, Hokkaido! ●Moseushi Town Water Park Urara It is a park with various playground equipment located about a 15-minute walk from Moseushi Station. The free waterslide is fun even for the little ones! Newly established in 2022 Reiwa 4, the colorful complex playground equipment "Curling Combination" is also recommended. In the park, there is also a park golf course charged, basketball three-on-three courts free, and a barbecue corner reservation required, so you can enjoy sports and the outdoors! In addition, there is also an indoor curling hall "Moseushi Town Curling Hall" charged in the park! In the 1980s, Moseushi Town started the activities of the Moseushi Curling Association, and in 2003, the long-awaited dedicated facility "Moseushi Town Curling Hall" was completed. It can be used as a playground facility in the summer from May to September, and as an indoor curling hall from November to March.
