At the Tokapuchi Grand Space Scenic Cafe’s Tokachigaoka Observatory, local volunteer guides offer landscape and sightseeing information on summer Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.

Today’s weather turned out better than forecast, and I cycled there to see the blue sky!
Although clouds were plentiful, I could see the Hidaka Range and the Tokachi Plain in one sweeping view 🤩

You can sometimes see hot air balloons in the early morning, and it’s also a beautiful spot for sunset ✨

Moor Hot Spring Firefly Viewing Event Fireflies raised in the moor hot spring waters will perform a dance of light. In the past, it was possible to see Heike fireflies around Tokachigawa Onsen. However, as the town modernized, habitats suitable for fireflies dwindled, and after the summer of 1990 the Heike fireflies could no longer be seen. The goal of restoring Heike fireflies at Tokachigawa Onsen is to bring back the early-summer scenes that were once common. A distinctive feature of the firefly restoration is the use of hot spring water as the water source. Tokachigawa Onsen’s spring is a rare plant-rich moor hot spring. Because it contains plant-derived components, it is rich in minerals essential for the proliferation of diatoms, which serve as food for pond snails. This is the first successful example in Japan of restoring fireflies using 100% hot spring water. Heike fireflies are distributed from Kyushu to Hokkaido, and into eastern Siberia and Korea, and they once thrived in wetlands and watersides surrounding rice paddies. A characteristic of Hokkaido’s Heike fireflies is that their flashing intervals tend to be longer than those of Heike fireflies on Honshu. Event period: Saturday, July 8 to Sunday, July 23 Event time: 8:00 PM–9:00 PM Location: Tokachigaoka Park

A paradise for sweets lovers! "Ryugetsu Sweetpia Garden" This is an entertainment spot where you can buy sweets, enjoy a café, take hands-on experiences, and tour the factory✨ This shop sells "Sanporoku no Hajikko" at a bargain price every morning, and a line forms before opening. It comes in substantial portions, priced from 550 to 650 yen per kilogram! The shop-only "Kinagoromo Soft" is irresistible for fans of Japanese flavors, with wobbly kinako mochi and sweet red bean paste inside. In the eat-in area, you can enjoy azuki tea and coffee for free! The Sanporoku bench placed around the garden looks so real it almost seems edible 😋 The Roadside Station Otofuke Natsuzora no Furusato is right next door, so you can enjoy both places together!
