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!

In the forest on the ridge of Rokko, I found a secret place where a mysterious anecdote between Mr. Groom and a fox with a white tail remains. This is a place called Mikuniike on Mt. Rokko, which has flourished as a villa area since the Meiji era. I knew from the map that there was a villa of Arthur Hesketh Groom, a trader who came to Kobe in the Meiji era, but I stepped in to find out why Mr. Groome, who loved Japan, Kobe, and Mt. Rokko, built a villa here. Groom was born in Vernon Terrace, a coastal city overlooking the English and French Straits, and came to the Kobe Foreign Settlement in 1868 (Keio 3/Meiji 1st year). In this way, he was involved in the trade of Japan tea and Chinese tea, and eventually in 1895 (Meiji 28), he built a villa named 101 House here on the banks of Mikuni Pond. One day, when Groom hid a lost fox chased by a hunter, he stayed near the villa and fell asleep on Groom's lap. Eventually, after Mr. Groom's passing, a man who said that this fox had moved to his family came to visit him, and the surprised family built a shrine on Mt. Rokko to enshrine the fox. The man who visited had no connection with the Groom family and had a dream (was told by you?). It was said that he had arrived at the Groom family. Because the tail was white, this shrine was named Shirohige Shrine. Actually, I found this Shirahige Shrine first, visited it to learn about its origin, and this time I came to the site of the villa site of Mikuni Pond. Now, when I entered the mountain a little from the bus stop of Mikuni Pond, I heard the sound of a frog like the sound of a cello of a stringed instrument and the murmur of the water flowing smoothly. Soon we reached a path overlooking a large pond through the bushes. There was a small island in the pond, and I could see in the distance how the frog, startled by my presence, jumped to the surface of the water and its ripples spread soundlessly. That's when I was stunned. A short tree stands on the other side of a small island with trees... The surroundings were slightly bright, and I could feel the children of families who had come to hike and running around. I felt like I had seen Mr. Groom as a young child. At that moment, oh, yes! !! I felt convinced. I'm sorry if it's just my imagination, but this is a mountain with the same atmosphere as the waterside of the happy memories that Mr. Groom spent with his family when he was a child... Perhaps this Kobe, which faces the Seto Inland Sea, was very similar to his hometown Vernon Terrace facing the English Channel. The sense of security of hometown... For some reason, I couldn't help but imagine that this was conveyed to the white-tailed fox. Since building his first villa here, Groom has embarked on resort development, tree planting, and mountain trail maintenance on Mt. Rokko. I am sure that this is a power spot where various ideas are excited. This time it was ? a piece from a "secret place" surrounded by such healing greenery.
