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!

Minamifurano, Shintoku, Shikaoi
A joint pamphlet made by three neighboring towns📕
In the heart of Hokkaido, this pamphlet introduces delicious cuisine crafted from fine trees, pure water, and good snow, along with a variety of nature-based activities.
Beyond packing the charms of the three towns along National Routes 38 and 274 into one booklet,
each town is color-coded for easy viewing,
and you can catch detailed information by scanning the QR codes on the pages.
The colors for the three towns are…
Minamifurano Town — "Lavender swaying on Lake Kanayama🪻"
Shintoku Town — "The deep, shining blue of Lake Sahoro🫐"
Shikaoi Town — "The clear aquamarine of Lake Shikaribetsu💚"
Overall, the pamphlet uses gentle colors and a matte, classy paper texture that reflects careful design.
Despite the move toward digital, this is a deliberately analog paper pamphlet, and we hope you will pick it up and leaf through it.
(Personally, I’d like you to pay attention to the sound of the pages turning💡)
It seems rare for neighboring towns to produce a joint pamphlet like this.
So when you visit roadside stations or tourism association counters, please pick one up, look it over, and feel the pages!
We look forward to seeing you💁♀️

Secret Garden
Starting from Shintoku Station,
if you head toward Shintoku Hireya,
you come upon a lovely garden.
This is a private residence,
but the owners said, “We want not only the people of Shintoku but many others to come and see it,”
so I paid a visit.
The garden is full of the owner’s love for flowers, affection for Shintoku, and memories of a loved one.
However, a while ago some rose saplings were dug up and stolen, which was very sad.
They may have been plants tended with great care, and above all they may have held deep sentiment.
I don’t think anyone who reads this post and comes by would do anything hurtful,
but since this is a private home, please view the garden respectfully.
If the owner or the gardener is working in the yard,
say hello and they may show you their lovely inner garden.
If no one is there, please enjoy looking into the inner garden from the outside.
If the owner is present, they might tell you the origins of the flower names or share stories about them.💁♀️
I hope that when you visit, you’ll get to meet the owner!

Climbing hydrangeas in bloom at Karikachi Kogen Park
From mid-June to early July, an estimated several hundred climbing hydrangea plants wind around the larch plantation trees in Karikachi Kogen Park, creating a beautiful sight. The cream-colored flowers, about 5 mm in size, bloom in clusters, making the larch trees look as if they are wearing dresses. The usual peak season is early to mid-July, but the warm temperatures likely caused them to bloom all at once this year.
Bicycle rentals are available at the Shintoku Town Tourism Association counter on the 2nd floor of the Shintoku Station Community Center "Tokutoku."
The ride from "Tokutoku" to Karikachi Kogen Park is about 10 km (approx. 40 minutes). From SL Square, take the Poppo Road — it's a steady uphill all the way to Karikachi Kogen Park, but on the return you'll enjoy a fast downhill ride with the wind at your back 🚲
For those who are reasonably fit and want to enjoy active, slightly adventurous sightseeing, please use our rental bikes.
We have:
4 mountain bikes
4 city bikes
Same-day reservations are welcome!
We look forward to seeing you 🚲

When I walk around town, I see many different flowers.
This time, I found a lily of the valley.
Lily of the valley is one of Hokkaido’s representative flowers, and the native species reportedly grows wild in the highlands of Tohoku and Hokkaido. About a dozen small, white, bell-shaped flowers hang from a single stalk. This flower is fragrant, and after blooming it produces a spherical fruit that ripens red, but all parts of the plant are poisonous, so caution is advised.
The flowering season is May to June, so I hope they will still be in bloom through the end of this month.
An opening event for the Tokutoku Community Center, located next to Shintoku Station, will be held starting at 10:00 AM on Sunday, June 15. Lily-of-the-valley plants are in bloom near the Tokutoku Community Center, so if you’re interested, please come and see them while they’re at their best.🌸
Some information on lily of the valley has been quoted in part from Hokkaido's official website.
