Tokachi Tourism Federation
Jul. 18, 2023
Nice to meet you! It is the Tokachi Tourism Federation.
We would like to introduce the attractive information of Hokkaido Tokachi, which is blessed with vast land and beautiful nature.

First of all, we will deliver the basic information of Tokachi.
Tokachi is made up of 19 municipalities, including the central city of Obihiro.
"19 Municipalities of Tokachi"
Obihiro City, Otofuke, Shihoro Town, Kamishihoro Town, Shikaoi Town, Shintoku Town, Shimizu Town, Memuro Town, Naka Satsunai Village, Sarabetsu Village, Taiki Town, Hiroo Town, Makubetsu, Ikeda Town, Toyokoro Town, Honbetsu Town, Ashoro, Rikubetsu Town, Urahoro Town

The origin of the place name Tokachi in Hokkaido comes from the fact that it was called "Tokapuchi", which means Tokachi River in the Ainu language used by the indigenous people of Hokkaido.
Due to the continental climate of Tokachi, the temperature in spring and summer is relatively high even in Hokkaido. In winter, the minimum temperature is -30 degrees Celsius, but there is little snow and there is a lot of sunny weather.

The main route to Tokachi is from Tokachi-Obihiro Airport by plane.
Tokachi Obihiro Airport is about one and a half hours from Haneda Airport and about 1 hour and 45 minutes from central Nagoya.
By train, you can travel from Sapporo to JR Obihiro Station in as little as 2 hours and 24 minutes.

Tokachi is a treasure trove of nature, and each of the 19 municipalities and regions is full of diverse attractions, and there are many sightseeing spots where you can encounter beautiful scenery and animals.

In this post, we will introduce some of the popular sightseeing spots.

Banei Tokachi (Obihiro Racecourse) in Obihiro City is the only racecourse in the world that holds the Banei Horse Race, where racehorses compete by pulling sleds.
In the Banei race, you compete in strength, speed, and endurance. The powerful sight of running on the 200-meter-long course is a must-see!
In addition, there is a "petting zoo" where you can interact with ponies and rabbits, and you can enter even on days when there are no races.

The next place to introduce is "Tokachi Hills" in Makubetsu.
It is a complex of nature and flowers spreading on the hill, and you can enjoy themed gardens with the main theme of "agriculture and food".
Various flowers such as roses and herbs are in bloom, and you can enjoy the flowers throughout the year.
At the garden café in the park, there are also menus that can only be eaten here, such as a sandwich caskoot made with roasted ham from the world's only national treasure (Hungarian national treasure) "Mangalica pork".

Next, we will introduce the sightseeing spots around Tokachi Hills.
"Kofuku Station" is about 20 minutes by car from Tokachi Hills.
Booming in the 1970s with the catchphrase "From the land of love to happiness", the sacred place for lovers "Kofuku Station" is still a popular spot for couples wishing for happiness.
From the end of April ~ the end of November, we also hold a "Kofuku Station Happy Ceremony" where you can experience a mock wedding.
Aikoku Station, which also boomed like the Kofuku Station, is located about 15 minutes by car from the Kofuku Station. Currently, it is known as the "Transportation Memorial Museum", and the "Happiness Yuki" ticket monument in front of the station building is recommended as a photo spot.

Tokachigawa Onsen, which can be reached in about 25 minutes by car from Tokachi Hills, is a hot spring village on the banks of the Tokachi River.
"Mall Onsen", which can be enjoyed at Tokachigawa Onsen, has been selected as a Hokkaido Heritage Site and is a valuable plant-based hot spring in Japan.
The effects of Mole Onsen include neuralgia, muscle pain, joint pain, chronic women's diseases, and sensitivity to cold.
There are also hotels in the vicinity where you can take a day trip.
While surrounded by beautiful nature, you can heal your daily fatigue by soaking in hot springs.

In the Tokachi area, there are 15 roadside stations that provide local specialties, gourmet food, and tourist information. (As of July 2023)

The railway station was renovated in 2011, and Roadside Station Ashoro Ginga Hall 21 is a roadside station in Ashoro that still retains the remnants of the railway.
At the shop and bakery, you can enjoy bread made with Japan's largest butterbur, Rawanbuki, which is also a specialty of the Ashoro, and local gourmet dishes such as rawan buki soft at the restaurant.
The local gourmet "pork bowl" that you can enjoy at the "Kumanoko Community Exchange Product Center Store" is also a gem that you can't miss!
At the roadside station, you can spend valuable time unique to the region, such as food using local specialties.
Please stop by for memories of your trip.

Next, we will introduce spots where you can come into contact with the vast nature of Hokkaido.
Lake Onneto, one of the three most secret lakes in Hokkaido, is a tourist attraction located in the westernmost part of Akan-Mashu National Park. Since the color of the water surface changes depending on the season and time, it is also called "Goshikinuma".
The observation deck, where you can enjoy the view of the Lake Onneto with Mt. Meakan and Akan Fuji in the background, is a recommended viewing spot.

The Taushubetsu River Bridge (Lake Nukabira) in Kamishihoro Town is a 130-meter-long concrete arch bridge built in 1937.
There are about 60 arch bridges of various sizes that were previously used as the JNR Shihoro Line, and they are preserved as modern industrial heritage.
In spring, the snow melts and the water level rises, and the reflection of the arch on the surface of the water can be seen on the glasses, so it is also called "Spectacle Bridge".

Mikuni Toge (Kamishihoro Town) in Daisetsuzan National Park is the highest mountain pass in Hokkaido at an altitude of 1,139 meters.
There is no doubt that you will be fascinated by the beauty and power of nature, such as the sea of fresh green trees and vivid autumn leaves.
At Mikuni Pass Café at the top of Mikuni Pass, special menus such as home-roasted hand drip coffee are popular.

The last "Tokachi Ranch" we will introduce is a vast ranch with an area of 4,092 hectares in Otofuke.
We raise Hokkaido horses, sheep and cows.
The 1.3km birch avenue that continues from the entrance of the ranch is a popular spot.

In Tokachi, Hokkaido, various events are held throughout the year.
The Tokachi Port Festival "Tokachi Port Fireworks Festival" held in Hiroo Town is the only fireworks festival held at the port in the Tokachi area.
The underwater fireworks spreading on the surface of the sea are one of the highlights! In 2023, it is scheduled to be held on August 5.

The "Obihiro Plain Festival" in summer, the "Obihiro Chrysanthemum Festival" in autumn, and the "Obihiro Ice Festival" in winter are popular festivals as "Three Major Festivals of Obihiro".
In addition, the "Kachimai Fireworks Festival" held on the banks of the Tokachi River is a fireworks festival that is a hot topic for its highly entertaining composition.
You can watch a fireworks show with music, lighting and fireworks.
In 2023, it will be held on August 13.

Tokachi, Hokkaido is an attractive region that harmonizes vast nature with gastronomy, hot springs, and sightseeing spots.

We will continue to deliver sightseeing spots, events, gourmet information, etc. in the Tokachi area that we could not tell you in this post!

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.

Was in Sapporo over the weekend for an errand and had enough time to stop by a few places before having to leave. Took a walk through Nakajima Park early in the morning and saw a turtle and a heron relaxing by one of the ponds. There were also a bunch of ducks enjoying breakfast in the grass nearby. Also managed to stop by Hokkaido Shrine and and the Sapporo Beer Museum, both of which were very cool. I really liked the architecture of Hokkaido Shrine, and it was fun reading the signs to read about the different emperors that had visited the shrine and in what year. The beer museum was fun as well. Learning about all the history was really cool, and seeing the different advertisements used throughout the years was pretty neat as well. Ended up buying matching cups and I got a shirt as well. Hokkaido Shrine and the Sapporo Beer Museum are definitely two of the best spots to visit in Sapporo if you ask me. I would have liked to visit Shiroi Koibito Park as well, but they were already closed by the time we were able to visit, so I guess that’ll have to wait for next time. Was a great time overall.

Ebetsu Tourism Association
Jul. 12, 2023
Nice to meet everyone who watched the COOL JAPAN VIDEOS! This is the Ebetsu Tourism Association. We will send out information about Ebetsu City, which is full of charm, such as tourist information and event information of Ebetsu City, Hokkaido, so thank you. Ebetsu City, with a population of about 120,000, is located in central Hokkaido (central Hokkaido region), and is adjacent to Sapporo City on the west side of the city. It is about 40 minutes by car from the center of Sapporo and about 20 minutes by train from Sapporo Station to Nopporo Station in the city, making it an easily accessible area, and the population has rapidly increased as a commuter town of Sapporo City from the late 1955 (Showa 30) to the 40s. The climate is slightly warmer than other areas of Hokkaido, and there is less snow than in mountainous areas. In Ebetsu City, Nopporo Forest Park, a provincial natural park where one of the world's leading flatland primeval forests remains, and the Ishikari River, a first-class river, flow, allowing you to feel close to the great nature of Hokkaido. Ebetsu City, which is about 1 hour by car or train from New Chitose Airport, is also an ideal destination for sightseeing in Hokkaido! Now, let's take a look at some of the most popular sightseeing spots in Ebetsu City, Hokkaido. The Hokkaido Forestry Tree Breeding Center Old Government Building has been used as a central facility for forestry research in Hokkaido. The building constructed in 1927 (Showa 2) has high historical value and was registered as a national tangible cultural property in 2001 (Heisei 13). The Hokkaido Archives, which will be introduced next, has a collection of 269,000 official documents that allow you to learn about the history of Hokkaido, and some of the documents are designated as important cultural properties of the country. "Ebetsu City Forest Campsite" is a campsite that is open from May to October and is equipped with flush toilets and a cooking area. You can set up a tent at a campsite surrounded by nature and spend a luxurious time looking up at the vast night sky of Hokkaido and enjoying the starry sky. "Vegetable Station Fureai Farm" sells fresh vegetables from Hokkaido, so it is ideal as a souvenir for sightseeing in Ebetsu City, Hokkaido. Ebetsu City is also known as one of Japan's leading brick production areas, and in October 2004 (Heisei 16), Ebetsu Brick was certified as a Hokkaido Heritage Site. Starting with the Ebetsu Glass Art Museum and the Ebetsu Ceramic Art Center, brick buildings such as elementary schools and private houses remain in beautiful form in the city. The "Ebetsu Yakimono Market" held every July gathers ★ many ceramics every year. Please enjoy gourmet food when sightseeing in Ebetsu City! Ebetsu City is famous for its wheat production area, and the bread, ramen, and udon noodles made with the most popular variety "Haruyutaka" are exquisite! The tenderness and flavor of the meat of Ezo Tajima beef raised in Ebetsu is unforgettable once you eat it. These are also popular items for hometown tax payments. Finally, we will introduce popular summer events in Ebetsu City. "Ebetsu Fireworks" is a festival loved by locals, and the fireworks that are launched at close range and light up the night sky fascinate the viewers, making it the perfect festival to make summer memories in Hokkaido. Experience Ebetsu's rich nature, delicious food, historic architecture, and above all, the warm hearts of its people. We will send out the latest information of Ebetsu City in COOL JAPAN VIDEOS, so please look forward to it! !!

【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:7/8(Sat)~7/23(Sun) Time: 20:00~21:00 Location: Tokachigaoka Park
