This evening a sudden downpour left the grass and trees smelling wonderfully fresh.
Here is yesterday’s sunset.
Speaking of sunsets, the Tokachigaoka Observation Deck is a popular spot, but I also love watching the sun sink low from Tokachigaoka Park.

Otofuke’s power spot
Otofuke Shrine
This verdant shrine feels like a deep forest.
Ezo squirrels live here, and you can watch them eat and dash about energetically.
Visiting cleanses the heart, so do consider paying a visit.

Today the high is 28°C, and the warm weather makes short sleeves comfortable during the day!
Right now, baby grapes are growing well in the guide center garden vineyard ☺
They say harvest will be around autumn.
I wonder if they will become a delicious wine?

ID:2The warm temperature is so nice lately. I prefer red wine over white wine, but I would love to try the wine here. It's incredible that the grapes will grow so large after starting out so small!
Hello!
I’m Mōru-chan, the local mascot of TokachigawaOnsen!
She’s a girl with a bean-shaped body patterned like a cow, a pig’s nose, and corn-shaped horns♡
She’s packed full of Tokachi’s charms 😍
This one was apparently made by a staff member of Otofuke town hall using small building blocks from a 100-yen shop!
There’s also a hot-spring-steam version.

Walking around the Tokachigawa Onsen Guide Center, you’ll find fields full of canola flowers.
Their vibrant yellow pops against the blue sky.
It’s become a wonderfully pleasant season.

Cycling around the Ecolog Park, I came across a colony of large white Trillium.
This flower is one of Hokkaido's emblematic blooms, even featured on Rokkatei packaging.
Discovering small things while riding a bike is so much fun!
Electric-assist bicycle rentals are now popular and available!
We look forward to welcoming everyone.

ID:1The river looks like a nice place to sit for a picnic. I'm sure it would be cool on a hot summer day.
Fresh green season has arrived 🌳
This is the row of white birch trees at Tokachi Ranch.
The observatory, closed during winter, has reopened and offers sweeping views of the vast landscape.
I could even spot cows grazing in the distance 🐄

This is the scene at Suzuran Park, Otofuke’s cherry blossom spot.
It’s almost full bloom, and the nighttime illumination of the blossoms has already begun!
The wind is strong and chilly at this seasonal change, but spring is just around the corner.
