What kind of place is Ashoro?
We will introduce plenty of Ashoro attractions and sightseeing spots to everyone who sees the COOL JAPAN VIDEOS, so thank you!

Ashoro is the largest town and village in Japan in the northeastern part of Tokachi.
Forestry and agriculture are thriving, and about 80% of the town's area is forested.
The population is about 6,500.
Basically, you can travel by car in the town, and access by car from major cities in Hokkaido is as follows.
・About 1 hour by car from Obihiro
・About one and a half hours by car from Kushiro
・About one and a half hours by car from Kitami
・About 3 and a half hours by car from Sapporo
・About 3 and a half hours by car from Asahikawa

One of the popular tourist spots of such a Ashoro is "Ashoro Galaxy Hall 21" in the center of the Ashoro.
It was originally built as an ashiyoro station on the Hokkaido Chihoku Kogen Railway "Furusato Galaxy Line" and was registered as a roadside station in 2004, but after the "Furusato Galaxy Line" was discontinued in 2006, it was reopened in 2011 and became its current appearance.

In the facility, the tracks and trains used for 95 years are reproduced by making use of the original platform.
In addition, Ashoro is the birthplace of singer-songwriter Chiharu Matsuyama, and the "Chiharu Matsuyama Gallery" in the facility is decorated with her favorite guitar and stage costumes.

"Onneto" is recommended for those who want to enjoy sightseeing spots surrounded by Ashoro nature.
Onneto is a lake with a circumference of 2.5 km west of Akan-Mashu National Park and was formed by the eruption of Mt. Meakan about 2,000 years ago.
Since the color of the lake surface changes depending on the season, weather, and where you see it, it is also called "Goshikinuma" and "Mysterious Lake".
* It takes about 50 minutes by car from the Ashoro city center.
* During the winter period (December ~ April), the road leading to the lake is closed and vehicles are not allowed to pass. For details, please see the website of the Ashoro Tourism Association.

Finally, we would like to introduce some of Ashoro's most popular events.
The "Ashiyoro Furusato Bon Odori Ryogoku Fireworks Festival" held every August is the largest event in the town where as many as 8,000 fireworks dye the night sky of Ashiyoro in vivid colors (* In 2022, only fireworks were launched).

When sightseeing in Hokkaido, please come to Ashoro.
Japan's largest town with untouched nature awaits you with the best hospitality.

My today's recommendation is Kawazu city. Kawazu cherry blossoms are early-blooming cherry blossoms that begin to bloom from mid-February to early March every year in Kawazu city of Shizuoka Prefecture. During that period a several hundred cherry trees blooms along the both side of river. Unlike the normal cherry blossom this kawazu cherry blossoms are bright colors. In a short distance one can also see the mountains on one side and sea on the other side. The river water is crystal clear. Most importantly, the local peoples are very tourist friendly.

❄️ Tengu Mountain
In addition to the must-see Otaru Canal, there are actually many must-see spots ☃️☃️ when you come to Otaru, and Tengu Mountain is one of them!

Otaru's proximity to the sea and topography allows you to collect pictures of Otaru city and sea view from many elevated perspectives, and visiting Tengu Mountain Shrine to touch Tengu's nose will bring good luck!

For the night, you are also welcome to stay at Sapporo Kinyutei for one night.
