🌳 A forest bathing spot close to the station: Hokkaido University Tomakomai Research Forest 🐿️
Located about a 15-minute drive from Tomakomai Station, Hokkaido University Tomakomai Research Forest was established in 1904 as the research forest for Hokkaido University’s Faculty of Agriculture.
Many wild birds live here, including black woodpeckers, long-tailed tit, belted kingfisher, and mallards, making it an ideal spot for birdwatching 🦆💦
The research forest also houses the Forest Reference Museum and Memorial Hall, where taxidermy animals and forestry-related materials are on display! 💁♀️
The Forest Reference Museum and Memorial Hall used to open only on the last Friday of the month, but starting Saturday, June 24, it will be open every Saturday!! 🎉✨
Why not enjoy some forest bathing at the nature-rich Hokkaido University Tomakomai Research Forest? 🌳
