Shintoku Town is a town with a population of 5,518 (as of the end of March 2022 (Reiwa 4)) in the middle of Hokkaido.
Access from popular tourist spots in Hokkaido is also outstanding.
JR Shintoku Station is served by 22 limited express trains a day, about 2 hours from Sapporo, about 1 hour and 45 minutes from New Chitose Airport, about 30 minutes from Tomamu, about 30 minutes from Obihiro, and about 1 hour and 50 minutes from Kushiro.
A train trip to Shintoku Town while looking at the beautiful natural scenery of Hokkaido is recommended.
Shintoku is also a dairy farming town where about six times the number of cows is raised.
Shintoku Town's proud gourmet food is "soba noodles" that are said to be the highest quality in Japan made from locally produced buckwheat flour, and up to 25,000 people come to the "Shintoku New Soba Festival" held every September in search of new soba noodles.
Sightseeing, gastronomy, activities... We will send out information about Shintoku Town, Kamikawa-gun, Hokkaido, which is full of charm, so thank you!

The new soba season has begun.
Since mid-August, two types of banners have been raised beside the soba fields along National Route 38 to promote the Shin-toku New Soba Festival by the PR campaigns “Soba Road” and “Soba Town Shintoku.”
Until the Shin-toku New Soba Festival, the 1.3 km stretch with soba fields buzzes with activity. 🚩
The 2025 harvest of new soba is already being carefully gathered by producers.
You can taste the new soba at the Shin-toku New Soba Festival, and local soba restaurants in town will also be serving new soba at this time.
If you can’t make it to the festival, want to go early, or find the festival portions aren’t quite enough—
please come to Shintoku and visit the soba restaurants. 💁♀️
The Shin-toku New Soba Festival takes place on Sunday, September 28, 2025, from 10:00 to 14:00.
We warmly look forward to your visit.
