Shintoku Shrine Mountain DE Spring Festival On a refreshing morning, the temperature has risen since the day before yesterday Gari preparations for the Spring festival are underway at the Shintoku Shrine, which is almost in full bloom. After this, it will be held from 10:00 to 14:00 in the Shintoku Shrine Precincts where the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

At the request of an acquaintance, I experienced a late sap (sap) water collection. I was talking about "maybe it won't come out anymore?", but I was able to collect about 500 ml of one of the two bottles in one hour. (The other one is about 100ml) By the way, I also experimented with a birch hammock, which I had been interested in for a long time. "Sleeping comfort is outstanding!" ?✨ Would you like to ride it? If you have a lot of requests, I will consider it as a summer experience. #Hokkaido #Tokachi #Shintoku Town #Shintoku Tourism Association #Karikatsu Plateau #Karikachi Kogen Park #Route 38 #Hokkaido Garden Highway #Birch #Birch sap (sap) water #Birch sap (sap) water collection experience #Hammock #Summer Events

Koharuhi until yesterday seems to be a lie. Snow in the town, snow in the passes. But I definitely found the arrival of Spring on Poppo's road. Mizubasho, which had only a few leaves five days ago, is spreading all over the swamp. The weather is expected to improve from tomorrow. If you are passing by, please look for Mizubasho on Poppo's road.

The last few days have been warm. What's going on with Lysichiton camtschatcensis? I was curious and went to the swamp along Poppo's road on the Old Karikachi Line track. It seems that it was still a little early, but there were pretty flowers blooming nearby. Soon, Lysichiton camtschatcensis will also be there.

For the rehearsal of the birch sap water collection experience that will start the day after tomorrow, we will do a final check of the flow at the site. I was worried because it snowed the day before yesterday, but thanks to the warmth today, I was relieved by the sap that oozes out when I make a hole in the birch. It seems that it was still a little early for full-scale collection, and the sap that came out was about 50 ml in one hour. From now until the end of the week, the daytime temperature is forecast to exceed 10 degrees Celsius, so I think the amount of collection will stabilize. The birch sap water collection experience will be held from the 5th (Friday) to the 14th (Sunday) of this month, and reservations can be made even the day before. If you are interested, please join us. In addition, those who are only interested in visiting are welcome. * If there are no participants, there will be no event, so please contact the tourism association in advance. For details, please contact the Shintoku Tourism Association [0156-64-0522].

The Nemuro Main Line (between Furano and Shintoku), which has contributed greatly to the development of the town and economic development, will last operate today. Watched over by many railway fans, the "Thank You Nemuro Main Line (Furano to Shintoku) Farewell Ceremony" was also held in front of Shintoku Station. The occasional falling snow during the event seemed to produce "goodbye" and "departure".

I went to the preview of "Takutetsukinoko Tan" that will open on Saturday, April 6th. Takutetsukinoko Tan is a facility where you can enjoy the harvesting experience of raw wood shiitake mushrooms operated by the Hokkaido Takutetsu Bus that runs in Shintoku Town. This place is the predecessor of the Takutetsu Bus, which ran between Shintoku Town and Shikaoi Town and Kamishihoro Town Town and was abandoned railway lines in 1968 (Showa 43), where Minami Shintoku Station of the Hokkaido Takushoku Railway was located. The fact that the Takushoku Railway also transported lumber and other materials was also an opportunity to start raw wood shiitake mushrooms. Therefore, in addition to exhibiting photos from the railway era, there is also a corner where equipment and documents are displayed in the facility. It is located 1 minute from National Route 38 and about 1.5 km from JR Shintoku Station, and it is about 5 minutes away if you rent a bicycle (free) in front of the station, so please stop by. Also, the cute mushroom tan station master "Mushroom Tan" is also waiting for you to come~! #Hokkaido #Tokachi #Shintoku Town #Shintoku Tourism Association #Takutetsu Mushroom Tan #Station Master Mushroom Tan #Harvest Experience #Haraki Shiitake #Mushroom #Hokkaido Takushoku Bus #Hokkaido Takushoku Railway

As the Abandoned railway lines of the Nemuro Main Line [Shintoku ⇔ Furano] approaches, the number of customers is increasing at Shintoku Station. I looked at the photos of the "Thank You Nemuro Main Line Panel Exhibition" that has been held at the station since the beginning of this month, and at the waiting seat next to the customers who were taking pictures, there were customers eating ekiben made at restaurants in the town. When I asked the staff at the shop "Stellar Station" in the station that sells it, they said that they sell "Shintoku Jidori Meshi(Chicken Rice)" on Wednesdays, and "Tokachi Yakiniku Bento" on Other days. It is very popular. If you are coming to Shintoku Station from now on, please leave the taste of Shintoku and Tokachi on one page along with the memories of the Nemuro Main Line.

A panel exhibition looking back on the history of Furano︎ ↔Shintokuma, which will be discontinued on March 31st, has started at Shintoku Station.

【Introduction of deep spots in Taiki Town】 ? Former JNR Hiroo Line Taiki Station Ruins In Taiki Town, there are still the remains of the station building of the Hiroo Line, a railway connecting Obihiro and Hiroo, which operated until Showa 62. Taiju Station opened in 1930 (Showa 5), and at its peak, the number of passengers per day exceeded 1,000 Use. The place where the tracks used to be is now a square called "Taiju Traffic Park", and the station building still remains. You can't go inside the building, but if you look through the window, you can see that the ticket gates and waiting rooms are still there. On the remains of the platform, there are still station name signs and signal levers. In Hakurin Park on the north side of Taiki Town Town Hall, the SL "No. 59611", which ran on the Hiroo Line until 1975 (Showa 50) after being active in various parts of Hokkaido, is on display. It seems that it was installed at the urging of SL fans in the town. Why don't you come and feel the remnants of the railway running in Taiki Town?
