🌊Have you heard of a “torchka”?🌊
“Torchka” comes from the Russian word for “point” or “position.” It refers to small reinforced defensive emplacements made of concrete and other materials to protect militarily important sites.
The torchkas along Taiki Town’s Pacific coast were built in large numbers near the end of the Pacific War to prepare for a possible US landing on the home islands, but they were never used and the war ended.
Many remain today because they were built solidly with concrete. Despite erosion from waves, rain, and wind, they survive as historically valuable war relics.
You can find them along the shore, partially buried in sand, and inland in various locations.
The torchka known as “Asahihama Torchka,” set within a windbreak forest, has been developed for visitors and is open for viewing, so please consider visiting.
⚠️The areas around torchkas often include sandy beaches and rough terrain, so please take care when driving there.

🍁Taiki Town's Recommended Autumn Spots🍁
When it comes to places to feel autumn in Taiki Town, the stunning autumn leaves at Sakashita Senkyo stand out.
It's tucked away a bit, so here are directions on how to get there!
1. On the Shimizu–Taiki Line (Hokkaido Route 55), you'll see a sign on the right if you come from Kamifutsunai, and on the left if you come from Taiki. Follow the arrow and turn. (Photo 2)
2. You will see the orange bridge “Bikei Bridge” ahead; continue across it. (Photo 3)
3. The paved road changes to gravel along the way. Keep going and you will pass the orange bridge “Sakashita Ohashi.” (Photo 4)
4. After passing another gray bridge you will spot a dairy farm. Go past the farm a short distance until the road splits left and right, then follow the left sign. The sign reads “Rekifune River Tributary Forest Road,” and this is where the forest road begins. (Photos 5–6)
5. Continue along the forest road for a while. Some sections get muddy after rain and fallen branches may block the way, so proceed slowly. (Photo 7)
6. You will arrive at Higata Bridge, which spans Sakashita Senkyo. (Photo 8)
There is a small space on the right after crossing the bridge where you can park or make a U-turn.
For more detailed directions, see the Visit Taiki topic article “How to Get to Sakashita Senkyo.” Use it as a reference and go enjoy the autumn scenery!

Introducing the events at Hakurin Park Festival!
🐟 Akiaji Catching by Hand
Taiki Town thrives not only on dairy farming but also on fishing, bringing in delicious seafood year-round, with the autumn salmon standing out as its main catch.
Akiaji (aki-salmon) does not mean horse mackerel; it refers to the salmon (sockeye/white salmon) that return to their home rivers in autumn to spawn. Akiaji has firm flesh and a clean, mild flavor.
At the Hakurin Park Festival, we will hold an Akiaji catching event for up to 100 children in elementary school or younger (planned). Distribution of participation tickets begins at 9:00 by the fountain. This event is a perennial favorite!
Additionally, akiaji soup will be on sale at the venue. Enjoy the taste of autumn in Taiki Town!
