The population is about 6,500.
Basically, you will travel by car in the town, and access by car from major cities in Hokkaido will be 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

One of the popular tourist spots in Ashiyoro Town is "Ashoro Galaxy Hall 21" in the center of Ashiyoro Town.
This station 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 closed 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, Ashiyoro Town 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.
For those who want to enjoy sightseeing spots surrounded by the great nature of Ashiyoro Town, "Onneto" is recommended.
Onneto is a lake with a circumference of 2.5 km to the 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 Ashiyoro town 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 will introduce popular events in Ashiyoro Town.
The "Ashiyoro Furusato Bon Odori Ryogoku Fireworks Festival" held every August is the largest event in the town where 8,000 fireworks brightly dye the night sky of Ashiyoro (* In 2022, only fireworks were launched).
When sightseeing in Hokkaido, please come to Ashiyoro Town.
The Japan largest town with untouched nature awaits you with the best hospitality.
