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!

To Little Forest Restaurant Popeye
After a hibernation period, they have opened for the 2025 season, so I went to visit right away.
Popeye sits alone at the farthest edge of the mountainside in the Kamisahoro area.
Its single-story circular shape and wooden sign greet you with a charming exterior.
Inside, the room faces south with pastureland stretching out and views of the Hidaka Mountains. Plenty of sunlight pours in, creating a comfortable space.
People of all ages are welcome, and small children are especially encouraged to visit.
The menu includes set meals, pasta, rice dishes, and desserts.
The highly recommended item is the lunch special,
the “Seasonal Popeye Lunch.”
The contents change each month, and
the main staple rice is kamameshi cooked in-house.
You can ask to substitute plain steamed rice for the kamameshi, so feel free to mention it.
※Because quantities are limited, it may sell out early.
It’s about a 15-minute drive from JR Shintoku Station, roughly 11 kilometers away.
On a sunny day, it makes for a pleasant drive; enjoy a leisurely lunch while taking in the views, or stop by to refuel after a full day of activities in town.
Be sure to drop in 💁♀️
※The regular closing day is every Monday, but if a holiday falls on a Monday, they take their day off after the holiday instead.
※If you plan to come from far away, it might be a good idea to check in advance whether they are open.

To Shintoku Shrine Mountain.
I went to check on the cherry blossoms.
The buds are plump and their color is deepening.
However, it looks like they will not bloom for a while yet.
There’s an event at Shintoku Shrine Mountain this weekend, but it may not be possible to hold it amid cherry blossoms.
The cherry blossoms may still be some way off, but
azaleas and ezō-engosaku (Corydalis japonica) are already giving a hint of spring’s arrival.
Shintoku Shrine Mountain is gradually taking on spring’s colors.
If you’re nearby, come and observe the wildflowers and the cherry blossom progress.💁♀️
Also, the Shintoku Shrine Mountain Spring Festival will be held on Sunday, April 27th, so please come and join us.🌸

Mt. Odasshu
“Tokachi is clear; the Hidaka Mountain Range looks especially beautiful this season with snow still clinging to its peaks.”
Sitting at the farthest end of the Hidaka Range on its northern side, Mt. Odasshu stands as a symbol of Shintoku Town.
The lowlands have thawed, but the mountains still hold much snow.
When the surrounding fields were entirely white, we longed for spring because snow removal was necessary, yet now that time feels nostalgic—the pure, cold whiteness of the snow lingers in memory.
This morning the cold eased and it warmed up, reaching nearly 18°C around noon.
We are not quite in the warm embrace of spring, but the changing winds and views make the season’s arrival palpable.

'Chinese Eatery Miura Shoten'
Last week they announced that their signature soy sauce ramen🍜 had been renewed, so I went to try it right away!
At Miura Shoten you can customize your ramen.
This time I customized it as follows…
① Noodle firmness—firm
② Green onions—extra
③ Back fat—normal
④ Special ichimi chili—normal
And I ordered a large serving
It looked jet black. A pitch-black soy sauce ramen🍜
The owner told me they blend in tamari soy sauce✨
First, the soup.
Contrary to its appearance, it had a deep richness and the soy sauce flavor filled my mouth.
Next, the straight medium-thick noodles clung to the soup, and I couldn’t stop eating them.
The extra green onions cut through the rich mouthfeel with their aroma rising through the nose and the soup, leaving a refreshing finish.
With plenty of vegetables and the satisfying weight of the medium-thick noodles, it was very delicious🍜
A new specialty of Shintoku Town!
Pitch-black in appearance, richly flavored in the old style
Pitch-black soy sauce ramen 'Shintoku Black'
Please give it a try🍜

Along the field edges, the adonis flowers, shriveled by the cold, seem to be waiting for the next warm spell.

The 2025 season Shintoku Shrine Hill "Night Cherry Blossom Light-Up" has been confirmed.
Period: April 25 (Fri) to May 11 (Sun)
About 2,300 Ezo-yamazakura cherry trees on Shintoku Shrine Hill will be illuminated, from the area around the shrine office up along the stairs to the precincts and nearby grounds.
Shintoku Shrine Hill is one of Hokkaido’s leading cherry blossom spots.
@shintokujinja
When in full bloom, the view is truly spectacular!
We can’t wait for the warm spring weather and the buds to sprout.
*The event period may shift slightly earlier or later depending on the timing of the cherry blossoms’ opening and falling.*
Please check @welcome_shintoku on social media before you visit.
The illumination uses LED floodlights to minimize stress on the flowers and to be environmentally conscious.
We look forward to welcoming you all 🌸
