I visited Kino no Mori Coffee in Otofuke, Hokkaido ☕️ They offer authentic siphon coffee and dishes made with local ingredients, all prepared with love for Otofuke.
This time I tried the "Taiyō Atsu-Atsu Napolitan" (literally "Sun — piping-hot Napolitan") — plenty of local seasonal vegetables and chewy, wide noodles coated in a rich tomato sauce; it was so delicious I couldn't stop eating!
They also offer curry, skillet pizza, the Kino sandwich, and dessert items like hotcakes 🥞

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.

I visited Daichi no Takumi at Tokachigawa Onsen.
It happened to be the 29th when I visited, and since the 29th is Meat Day, they were holding a steak fair!
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!
The portion was generous and I left very full 😊
It seems to be held on the 29th of every month, so please consider going.
*The menu is from March 29, 2024.*

This year’s Sairinka also featured a stall by Menya Bouzu.
I loved the soy sauce ramen I had at Sairinka, but this time I tried the spicy miso 😊
It’s spicy but addictively tasty!
I couldn’t stop sipping the soup 😊
In addition to soy sauce and spicy miso, they offer salt, miso, and mildly spicy miso, and they also have horumon ramen!
It would be fun to come back and try every variety!

Tokachigawa Onsen in the morning
Hello!
It’s March and getting a little warmer, but mornings here in Otofuke are still quite cold.
The temperature at 5:00 a.m. on the day of the shoot was -12.1°C.
River mist formed and Tokachi Chuo Bridge was hidden.
After sunrise the river mist cleared and the bridge stood out clearly!
By 7:00 a.m. we could see the majestic Hidaka Mountains clearly 😊
There was no wind that day, so we also saw hot air balloons rising.
Even when it’s cold, seeing scenes like this lifts your spirits!
Please come and see these seasonal views while you can 😊

I visited Indian Natsuzora, which opened last month at Roadside Station Otofuke Natsuzora no Furusato!
I ordered the Natsuzora exclusive hamburger you can only get here. It paired a juicy patty made from a blend of "Otofuke Town Kino e-Beef" and pork with the town’s beloved curry. It was so tasty that I finished it in no time 😊
The Natsuzora shop also sells frozen curry, making it a great souvenir✨
After the meal, I had soft serve from SKYPIEA, the takeout-only shop at the same roadside station. It was a snowy, cold day, but Yotsuba soft serve is delicious anytime✨
It was a day fully satisfied by the roadside station’s gourmet offerings.

Menya Karanari Otofuke
Yukgaejang Ramen, Level 3 Spicy
A savory, spicy broth made from oxtail soup blended with several types of chili peppers.
Even the standard Level 3 was quite spicy!
If you can’t handle heat, there’s a Level 0 with no spice at all.
The interior is bright with raised tatami seating, and I saw families with children.
Small rice is free, so it’s great to add an egg or cheese as an option at the end and turn it into gukbap.
This ramen, which was popular at the yakiniku restaurant, is served here as a specialty—and it’s addictively delicious 😋
