At the Michi-no-Eki (Roadside Station) Garden Spa Tokachigawa Onsen stands Ideyu no Iwaza (literally “Hot Spring Rock”) 🪨
You can reach it by entering through the main entrance of Garden Spa Tokachigawa Onsen, walking down the central corridor, and stepping outside at the corridor’s end.
The boulder is made of Hidaka stone; it was bestowed with a *bunrei* (a divided portion of the shrine’s spirit) from Yudonosan Shrine and is enshrined as the guardian deity of Tokachigawa Onsen.
It is said to bring blessings for household safety, business prosperity, matchmaking, and fertility (help in conceiving children). ✨
There are also information boards introducing the hand bath and the moor (peat) hot spring, so please stop by and try them out! ♨️

Indian curry, a specialty of Obihiro and Otofuke 🍛
This time, I visited Indian Nishi 18-jo in Obihiro ✨
At this Indian branch, there’s an “egg” topping that you won’t find at other Indian locations! 🥚
The finely chopped boiled egg pairs perfectly with the rich roux! 💘
The overall richness is just right — it was so delicious I couldn’t stop eating 😋
If you love eggs, you have to try this legendary set ✨
Address: 11-30, Nishi 18-jo Kita, Obihiro, Hokkaido

In Hokkaido’s Obihiro and Otofuke, there’s a curry chain called Indian 🍛. Because it doesn’t have branches in Sapporo or other parts of Japan, it has become a local favorite. Visitors to Obihiro, Otofuke, and the Tokachi area often come to taste its curry 🤤
This introduction focuses on the Indian in Obihiro’s Nishi 18-jo, which offers a “boiled egg” add-on you won’t find elsewhere 🥚
Chopped boiled egg mixed with the rich curry makes the flavor even deeper and more harmonious — so good you can’t stop eating 😋

I went to the hugely popular Goshun (五春) in Otofuke! ✨🍜
A large slice of chashu lies over the noodles like a cozy blanket 🥓
The thick, chewy noodles were coated in a rich gyokai-tonkotsu (seafood-and-pork-bone) dipping broth, clinging to every strand — absolutely delicious! ✨😋
I also tried the dry (soupless) tantanmen — it had just the right amount of heat and a pleasant kick of sansho, and I couldn't stop eating until the very end. 🤤
They also serve Taiwan mazesoba (Taiwan-style mixed noodles) and chuka soba (classic ramen).
Come and give it a try 💓

Located in Otofuke in the Tokachi area of Hokkaido, this wildly popular Japanese tsukemen is a must-try ✨🍜
The tsukemen comes topped with a perfectly marbled slice of chashu that looks like a comforter 🥓
The dipping broth is a rich gyokai-tonkotsu (seafood-and-pork-bone) stock; its intensity wraps the thick noodles so that every strand is full of flavour — truly delicious. 😋
I also ordered the dry (soupless) tantanmen; with the perfect amount of spiciness and a noticeable sansho flavour, I couldn't stop taking bite after bite. 🤤
The menu also includes Taiwan-style dry noodles (Taiwan mazesoba) and broth-based ramen — a great reason to visit Tokachi for hot springs and local food! ✨
