Toming Park

In the northernmost Yoshino cherry colony, Bibai City Tomei Park, about 2,000 cherry trees such as Yoshino cherry blossoms, Ezoyama cherry blossoms, Chishima cherry blossoms, and Yaezakura trees welcome you. There are various cherry blossoms in the park that bloom at different times, making it a spot where you can enjoy cherry blossoms for a long time.
There is also a rare cherry blossom with a single red line on the petals, making it a space where you can be enveloped in various cherry blossom colors and scents.

About 2,000 cherry blossoms and 5,000 azaleas bloom in the park in spring, and the lotus in the pond has cute flowers in summer, and in autumn it is a spot for autumn leaves, showing the expressions of each of the four seasons and delighting visitors.

Tomei Park was opened in September 1963 as a place of relaxation for citizens. In Showa 43, 200 cherry trees were planted to make it a famous place for cherry blossoms. Since then, various organizations have planted cherry blossoms, azaleas, maples, etc., and their flowers are still blooming beautifully.
In addition, I find it even more attractive to see Yoshino Somei living hard even in the harsh environment of the northernmost limit.
In the past, Tomei Park, which became famous as the place where the cherry blossoms bloom at the end of the song "Sakura" sung by singer Naotaro Moriyama in the recording of a TV program, is located in the hilly area of Tomei, Bibai City, and is crowded with many visitors from outside the city every year during the cherry blossom season.

Coal Mine Memorial Forest Park (Former Mitsubishi Bibai Coal Mining Facility) As you head towards the mountains from the Bibai intersection, you will see something like a red steel tower flickering from the top of the trees. This place, surrounded by nature, is called "Coal Mine Memorial Forest Park" The red steel tower is a coal mining heritage pit winding tower, and there are two towers about 20 meters high. In fact, the logo of our association is also based on the B of BIBAI and this pit turret. There are many towns in Sorachi that flourished from coal mining. The Coal Mine Memorial Forest Park is a park that utilizes the heritage of the former Mitsubishi Bibai coal mining facility. Today, the pit tower, the switching station that managed the power supply, and the raw coal pocket remain. A 170-meter-deep pit was built at this site in the 12th year of the Taisho era, and at that time it had a reputation as a modern model pit in Japan. In the early Showa period, the amount of coal produced exceeded 1 million tons per year, making it the largest coal mine in the entire coal mine of Mitsubishi Mining. After that, it continued to develop after World War II, but due to a change in energy policy from the Showa 30s, the Mitsubishi Bibai Coal Mine was closed in July of Showa 47, and with the closure of the mine, the Bibai Railway, which ran from Bibai Station to Tokiwadai, also closed the curtain of its 60-year history. The pit turret and raw coal pocket were selected as a modernization industrial heritage designated by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in November 2019. At the request of the Yasuda Tsuyoshi Sculpture Museum Arte Piazza Bibai and the world-renowned sculptor "Yasuda Tsukura", three new sculptures have been installed in the park since July 30. The works on display were "Myōmu" in front of the pit tower, "Ishinki" in the pit opening and closing station, and "Fubuki" in front of the raw coal pocket The collaboration between coal mining heritage and art further enhances the atmosphere. It can be a day when red shines in the blue sky, a cloudy day, a starry sky, or a snowy location with a pure white location. Why don't you visit once?

Haskap hunting In the idyllic countryside surrounded by nature, there is a haskap field with dark purple berries that bear fruit like bells. Bibai City is the production area of "haskap", which boasts the highest harvest in Japan, and you can enjoy haskap picking experience at many farms in the city during the season of June ~ July. Haskap, which is famous as a healthy fruit, contains a lot of vitamins, calcium, iron, etc., and is said to be effective in preventing anemia, sensitivity to cold, eye strain, as well as spots and freckles, and was once prized as a "fruit of immortality and longevity" in Ainu culture. Haskap, a precious fruit grown only in a limited area of Hokkaido, is also called the "phantom fruit" or "pearl of the north." The haskap hunting experience is held for about one month from the end of June every year.
