Bibai Tourism and Products Association. "Bibai City, Hokkaido" is visited by many tourists for its abundant nature, mild climate, and delicious food. From now on, I would like to introduce the charm of Bibai City in COOL JAPAN VIDEOS! First of all, Bibai City is read as "Bibaishi" and is located between Sapporo City and Asahikawa City, and is located within about one hour from both cities. Bibai City is served by National Route 12 connecting Sapporo and Asahikawa, and the section from Bibai City to Takikawa City is a straight road that continues all the way, and there is a road that boasts the longest straight-line distance in Japan. As for the weather and climate of Bibai City, a refreshing breeze blows through in spring, a cool climate continues in summer, and beautiful snowscapes spread out in winter. You can enjoy the atmosphere of the four seasons, and the beauty of each season brings new discoveries every time you visit. Introducing popular tourist spots in Bibai City! First of all, Miyajima Swamp is one of the world's leading spots where you can see migratory birds such as geese and swans. It is located about 30 minutes by bus from JR Bibai Station, and every year about 70,000 birds come from Russia far north of Hokkaido in spring and autumn. Especially in the early morning and evening, when you can see the herd, the sight of the sky and swamps filled in black is a masterpiece. In addition, the "Coal Mine Memorial Forest Park" is a tourist attraction not to be missed. Bibai City once flourished from coal mining. In this park, which was built on the site of the former coal mine, you can see a tower that transports coal from deep underground, and a raw coal pocket for storing coal. As a valuable tourist spot where the memories of the coal miners of the past coexist with the nature of the present, it was 2007 (Heisei 19) selected as an "Industrial Heritage of Modernization". Next is "KAN YASUDA SCULPTURE MUSEUM ARTE PIAZZA BIBAI". The works of world-renowned sculptor Kan Yasuda are exhibited here. His works blend in with the surrounding landscape, as if they were one with nature, providing peace and emotion to visitors. At Tomei Park, a vast park located in a hilly area, 2,000 cherry trees bloom during the cherry blossom season, and the "Bibai Cherry Blossom Festival" is held, and it is a popular tourist spot where you can enjoy the illuminated cherry blossoms at night. And at the "Bibai City Experience Exchange Center", even first-time visitors can easily experience pottery such as pottery and painting, and can be enjoyed by both children and adults. The last thing I would like to introduce is "Sorachi Shrine". This shrine is watched over by an old tree that is over 900 years old, and you can experience "making bangle protection" from natural stone. On your trip to Bibai City, please enjoy delicious meals. In particular, Bibai City's "Bibai Yakitori" is a local gourmet that you can't miss. It is one of the seven major yakitori in Japan, and is made by skewering chicken, chicken liver, inner eggs, gizzards, and onions. As a local soul food, it is a popular gourmet for a wide range of generations from children to adults. Please try it when you come to Bibai. And "Torimeshi" It is a local dish that has been passed down for more than 100 years, and because rice, stir-fried meat, and motsu are cooked with soy sauce, sugar, and sake, and almost no other ingredients or seasonings are used, the aroma and taste have a strong chicken flavor, and it has a taste different from other mixed rice. We look forward to welcoming you with rich natural scenery, sightseeing spots where you can feel history and culture, delicious food, and warm hospitality! Stay tuned for future posts!

"Biwase Observatory" is a spot where you can overlook the rich nature of the Hamanaka Town and has a breathtaking view. Cape Azeti is located at the western end of the Kiritappu Peninsula and gives you a sense of the grandeur of nature. Cape Kiritappu is located in the rough waves of the Pacific Ocean.

We would like to COOL JAPAN VIDEOS provide attractive information about hot springs, sightseeing spots, exquisite gourmet food, access methods, and weather! Please spend a dream-like time at Tokachigawa Onsen Otofuke where you can heal with the exquisite scenery woven by magnificent nature and the blissful hot spring. First of all, I would like to introduce hot springs that heal both the mind and body. Tokachigawa Onsen was 2004 (Heisei 16) selected as a Hokkaido Heritage Site ahead of many hot spring resorts in Hokkaido with its rare spring quality in the world. Tokachigawa Onsen is famous as a rare "mall hot spring" in Japan. Mohr is derived from the German word for lignite, etc., and is a hot spring that gushes out through lignite beds containing plant-based organic matter from ancient times, and the color of the water is amber and a slightly sloppy feeling. The hotels, inns, and other accommodations lined up in the hot spring town are full of elaborate open-air baths and indoor baths, and you can enjoy the hot springs of beauty to your heart's content, and there are also facilities where you can take a day trip to the hot spring. Otofuke's sights are so full of charm that you will lose track of time.

At the Tokachi Ranch, which boasts a vast site, a magnificent view of Tokachi spreads out 360 degrees from the observation deck inside the ranch. From mid-January to the end of February, snow exercises are open to the public as part of horse health management. At Yanagigetsu Sweetpia Garden, you can get a glimpse of the manufacturing process of popular confectionery makers and experience making sweets. Tokachigaoka Park is the perfect place to enjoy with your family, with seasonal flowers blooming around Hanak, a large flower clock with a diameter of 18 meters and a second hand length of 10 meters and 10 centimeters. Otofuke Tokachigawa Onsen is full of attractive events. Why don't you be fascinated by the light of fireflies that color Tokachigawa Onsen at night in "Moor Hot Spring Firefly Viewing" in early summer? Many tourists come to enjoy the wild dance of fireflies and spend a special time where you can feel the symbiosis with nature. The gorgeous event "Sairinka" held in winter creates a fantastic space where about 600 light objects, including a symbol tower of up to 5.4 meters, are linked with sound and light. Tokachigawa Onsen Otofuke Hokkaido hosts a variety of attractive events throughout the year, including these events. Along with hot springs, sightseeing spots, and delicious gourmet food, we hope you will enjoy seasonal events.

Yubari City, Hokkaido is located in the central Hokkaido region of central Hokkaido and is a city with many attractive sightseeing spots interwoven with nature and history. When many people hear the name "Yubari City", the words "Yubari Melon" and "Financially Bankrupt City" may come to mind. Yubari City also once prospered due to the coal industry, one of the main industries of the Japan. However, as time changed and the demand for coal decreased, Yubari City was affected by it, and by 1990, all the coal mines were closed and the city was in a difficult situation. After that, it experienced financial collapse in 2007, but now measures are being taken to revitalize the city. Yubari City has such a history, but it is about 60 minutes from New Chitose Airport, the northern gateway, and about 90 minutes from Sapporo, making it a popular tourist destination. At the Yubari City Coal Museum, you can learn about the history of the coal industry in Yubari City and learn about the development of Yubari City. Dynamic exhibitions that utilize actual coal mining sites as tourism resources are popular and have become a place visited by many tourists. Yubari City is rich in nature as well as from the summit of Mt. Yubari at an altitude of 1,668 meters, and a 360-degree panoramic view spreads out, and you can see the beautiful scenery of the four seasons. In addition, with the completion of the Yubari Shuparo Dam in 2015, you can enjoy aquatic activities such as canoeing at Lake Shuparo, which has become the fourth largest water reservoir in the Japan. At the waterfall top park, colorful flowers and trees grow over, and you can feel the four seasons of Yubari City closely. The "Chidoriga Falls" in the park is a superb view of countless large and small waterfalls and strangely shaped rocks. If you come to Yubari City for sightseeing, please enjoy gourmet food and masterpieces. Speaking of Yubari City, Yubari Melon! Why not taste the sweet and juicy Yubari melon in summer? Yubari potatoes and canned beans are also popular gourmets. The population was 116,000 in 1960, when coal mining flourished, but today it is less than 7,000. Yubari City is sometimes compared to a ghost town, but if you actually visit, you can learn about the history of Japan industry and enjoy nature and gourmet food. After about 16 years since 2007, Yubari City has reached the goal of paying off its debt in four years. In order for citizens and tourists to come back to Yubari City after paying off their debts, we would like to introduce the attractions such as sightseeing spots and history of Yubari City in the Cool Japan Video!

My todays recommendation: Hinode park, Furano, Hokkaido. Trying to capture moments that seize and hold the viewer’s attention. As a travel lover when I take photos, my primary goal is to help those who view the photos to appreciate the value of pure, unspoiled nature. The longer someone looks at a photograph, the greater the possibility that they will connect with its subject matter.

Today’s recommend spot is furano . It is a small town of hokkaido which is one of the best travel destinations of that prefecture regardless of any season. But I personally recommend a summer trip to this place if you love visiting flowers, love cycling through quitessential countryside roads or green valleys and enjoy farm fresh products and wine. In short Hokkaido summer trip is a wholesome package of relaxation and peace of mind.

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video".
