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!

Autumn colors are beginning.
I went to Tokachi Dam to prepare for the Kinaushi Shrine Enshrinement Anniversary Festival held on Tuesday, October 1st. Daytime temperatures in town rise to around 20°C, but nights fall into the single digits, and I expect mountain valleys are even cooler. I also received word that fall colors have started at Tomuraushi Onsen Higashi-Taisetsu-so, so they may have advanced considerably in the past week. In a typical year, the colors peak around early next month near Tomuraushi Onsen Higashi-Taisetsu-so, while the area around Kuttari Lake near Tokachi Dam reaches its best in mid-month. Please come and see the unspoiled wilderness painted by autumn foliage.

Karikachi Trail Running
The rain that fell from last night into the early morning cleared, and the 12th Karikachi Trail Running began with its starting gun! Runners tackled three courses that use the former Karikachi Line railway bed to run through nature. Participants numbered 143, coming not only from Hokkaido but also from as far away as Tokyo, Nagoya, and Fukuoka. With a temperature of 17°C and a pleasant autumn breeze, conditions were ideal for the event.

Under a clear Tokachi sky today, the Shintoku Shrine autumn festival features a mikoshi offering and a parade through the town. The shaded areas are already cool, but sunlit spots still feel like summer. Local volunteers, sweating as they go, are preserving and passing on the town's traditions.

From today until September 6, The Royal Express, operated by Tokyu Corporation and JR Hokkaido, will stop at Shintoku Station every Friday, so the tourism association greeted and welcomed passengers on the station platform.
The Royal Express, named to evoke elegance and a sense of occasion with a concept of beauty and a sparkling journey, is a special train notable for its royal blue livery; it runs with a diesel locomotive (DE15) and a power car coupled together.
At Shintoku Town Tourism, they offered hospitality in hopes that the sparkling beauty of Hokkaido, Tokachi, and Shintoku Town—no less dazzling than the train—would reach the passengers.
