Suzuran Park in Otofuke Town🌸
This park, rich in flowers and greenery, is beloved by locals as a spring cherry blossom spot as well as for its lilies of the valley.🌳
On Monday morning I photographed the blooming cherry trees and felt the spirit of spring more deeply.
They are expected to be in full bloom toward late April, so please come and experience springtime in Otofuke Town☺️
These photos were provided by local residents.💕

Suzuran Park in Otofuke Town, Hokkaido🌸
Besides lilies of the valley, the park fills with cherry blossoms in spring, and its lush greenery is loved by the community.🌳
These photos were provided by Otofuke residents.💕 I captured the cherry blossoms on Monday morning; although Hokkaido’s temperatures are still low, the blooming trees make spring feel even closer.
Now comes the full-bloom season, and we recommend visiting Suzuran Park in spring!

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! ✨

Today marks the end of March.
Spring is finally arriving in Tokachi.🍀
On clear days, the ridgeline of the Hidaka Mountains is sharply visible from Tokachigaoka Observation Deck.
The Hidaka Mountains are scheduled to become a national park around this summer, and if designated it will be Hokkaido’s seventh and the largest national park in Japan by area.😮
Why not enjoy the majestic Hidaka Mountains from Tokachigaoka Observation Deck?
The views of the Tokachi River and the Tokachi Plain are wonderful too.😊
The observation deck is about a 5-minute drive from the Tokachi River hot spring district.

You can enjoy steak at 29% off 😊
Today's recommended menu item
“Mirai Memuro Beef Shank Steak”
Rice, soup, salad, and pickles come as a set. (I ate the salad before I could take a photo...)
The meat was light but flavorful, and it was very delicious!
