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!

⛰️ We carried out the annual red-lime marking on Mt. Tomuraushi. 🏔️
As part of the yearly effort to prevent hikers from getting lost, the Tomuraushi red-lime marking was conducted jointly by three organizations—the Hokkaido Police, the Shintoku Mountaineering Association, and Shintoku Town—with a total of 16 participants!
We applied red lime powder at three locations, including the trailhead leading from the Kamuisankennai River up to Kamui Tenjo and the junction with Komadori-sawa. These are spots where hikers easily lose their way, so please be especially careful in these areas.
Also! We found bear tracks during the activity! 🐾
If you are planning to climb, please take adequate precautions against bears so you can enjoy a safe hike.
On your way back, please stop by Tomuraushi Onsen Higashi Daisetsu-so (東大雪荘)! ♨️
Thank you to everyone involved for your cooperation!

Hello!
This is the Shintoku Tourism Association.
Today, on the way back from Tomuraushi Onsen Taisetsuso ♨️, I made a short detour to the Bōgakudai Observation Deck because the weather was so nice. 🚗💨
From the deck, the blue sky stretched out and I enjoyed an unobstructed view of the majestic Mt. Tomuraushi 🏔 with patches of remaining snow. ✨
The summer mountain climbing season is approaching.
We sincerely hope that everyone who climbs this year can enjoy it safely. 👍

Hello! 🙋♀️
This is Shintoku Tourism Association.
We are sharing the schedule for the Tokachi Bus (Hokkaido Takushoku Bus) routes that run during the summer for mountain hikes ⛰ and day-trip hot spring visits ♨️, and in autumn for leaf-peeping 🍁.
From Shintoku Station, about 60 km away, this is a great chance to reach those remote hot springs ♨️—the kind of hidden gems you want to visit precisely because they feel far away 🔥.
For details, please contact Hokkaido Takushoku Bus.

Hello!🙋♀️
This is Shintoku Tourism Association.
The weather is lovely today.☀️
As Shintoku Town warms, fresh young greens🌱🌿🌲 are spreading across the mountains🏔️⛰️.
Along National Route 38’s garden road, the old Karikachi Line railway trace known as the “Poppo no Michi” is sprouting bright new greenery, making it a perfect season for walking🏃♀️🏃🏃♂️ and cycling🚴🚴♂️🚵♀️.
About 10 km to Karikachi Plateau, the mostly flat route that gently climbs passes attractions near Poppo no Michi such as Village 432, Shintoku Soba Hall, Be Wild, Yorkshire Farm, Ramen Rocky, Nomura Curry, and various cafes☕️🍰🍮.
You’ll also find Soba Road, horseback riding experiences, a sheep farm, and the Osazagawa Bridge nearby, so there’s plenty to see and enjoy.✨
On your next day off, why not take a deep breath for both heart💓 and body💆♀️💆♂️ on Poppo no Michi?
But don’t forget to bring a bear bell🧸🐻❗️

Starting today and continuing through late October, fresh vegetables 🥦🥬 will be sold at Sōma Store in front of Shintoku Station. Hokkaido will begin shipping a variety of vegetables now, so we’re excited to see which peppers, root vegetables, and more will appear on the stalls! 💓 Wild mountain vegetables are also offered in summer, so be sure to check them out 👀👀.
Also, from June 7, growers will sell seasonal vegetables 🌽, fruits like grapes and watermelon 🍇🍉, and homemade processed goods next to Wakafuji Bakery 🥐🥯🍞, so you can enjoy shopping and chatting with producers about the town and its produce—sounds fun! 😄
Wakafuji’s bread is delicious too! ✨

Hello! 🙋♀️
This is the Shintoku Tourism Association.
The past few days have been pleasantly warm and easy to enjoy. ☺️
Drawn out by the fine weather, I took a casual drive to Takketsu Kinokotan near the tourism association. 🚗💨
The wood that staff had been diligently inoculating with spores since last year has, surprisingly 👀, already produced shiitake mushrooms! ❗️
The greenhouse isn’t finished yet and the logs are still left out in the alley… Nature’s power is truly amazing. ✨✨✨
By summer the greenhouse will be ready and the shiitake will move in. 🚛
I’m looking forward to the autumn opening—one more thing to be excited about. 💓✨

Hello! 🙋♀️
This is Shintoku Tourism Association.
Today we promoted Shintoku Town aboard a special train organized by JTB, the “Japan no Shun” service. 🚃🎤 About 160 guests from across Hokkaido as well as Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka joined the four-day tour, which focuses on spring blooms in eastern Hokkaido. 🌼🌺🌷✨
On board, during the 30 minutes between Shinyubari and Shimukappu, we introduced dairy farming, soba noodles, local activities, and connections to the railway, and livened things up with cheese tasting 🧀 and a raffle awarding Shintoku soba. 🎊
Although the tour did not include a stop in Shintoku Town for sightseeing this time, we did our best to promote the town so that visitors will stop by on their next trip to eastern Hokkaido or choose Shintoku products through mail order or hometown tax donations. 💪🔥

This morning🌄 the General Incorporated Association Shintoku Tourism Association held a safety prayer ceremony at Shintoku Shrine ⛩, where the cherry blossoms are in full bloom🌸.
The mayor of Shintoku, the chair of the town council, the head of the Chamber of Commerce, and 15 directors of the Tourism Association attended, and we prayed👏 that visitors to Shintoku Town will create safe and happy memories.
On the shrine grounds, the “Shintoku Shrine Yamazakura Festival” was taking place, opening with a performance by the Shintoku Junior High School brass band and featuring a local Shintoku Ondo dance. In addition to festival staples like Shintoku soba, okonomiyaki🥚, French fries🍟, cotton candy, and crepes🍌, there was also a yakiniku🔥 set so you can enjoy a barbecue under the cherry trees even if you come empty-handed.
The rain that fell all morning cleared up and the festival is thriving. It runs until 2:00 PM🕑, so if you’re nearby, please come by!👍✨
