Did you know that a light railway once known affectionately as the "Yamasen" ran along the cycling road connecting Tomakomai and Lake Shikotsu?
In its early years, from 1908, it hauled materials and construction crews for a hydroelectric plant upstream on the Chitose River; in its middle years it carried logs; and in its later years it transported tourists to Lake Shikotsu, serving the area for 43 years until 1951.
On September 6, 2025, the YAMASEN30th event will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Yamasen being exhibited at its current location ✨

This delicate little flower is called mizosoba. It belongs to the knotweed family, the same family as buckwheat (soba). You can observe it along the shore of Lake Utonai, around the alder terrace. (Image courtesy of the Lake Utonai Wildlife Conservation Center)

Tomakomai’s two signature local dishes, curry ramen and hokkigai curry 🍜🍛 Both have been beloved in the region for more than half a century. Aji no Daiou in Tomakomai is said to be the birthplace of Hokkaido’s curry ramen. Hokkigai curry features the rich flavor of fresh Tomakomai hokkigai (surf clam) and was also prepared at home. Both dishes are served at many restaurants across the city and even appear on elementary and junior high school lunch menus 🍜🍛
