Can you sense the generally flat terrain with little elevation change?
To the northwest of the city stands Mount Tarumae, an active volcano with an elevation of 1,041 meters.
1. Lake Utonai (does it look a bit like the shape of Hokkaido...?)
2. The city viewed from above Tomakomai West Port
3. The oil storage facility in eastern Tomakomai
4. Mount Tarumae lava dome (in the distance you can see Lake Shikotsu and Mount Fuppushi in Chitose)

The Hokkaido University Tomakomai Forest, where research on forests is conducted, covers a vast 2,715 hectares of woodland.
Part of the forest is open to the public and serves as a peaceful retreat for local residents.
The Horonai River that runs through the woods is a clear stream rated at the highest level in public water quality surveys by the Ministry of the Environment.
There is also a stand of cherry trees known as the "Sakura Danchi".

The cherry blossom front has arrived in Tomakomai 🌸🌸
Many of the cherry trees you can see in Tomakomai are the species Ezo-yamazakura.
They grow naturally across Hokkaido and show a deeper pink than the yamazakura found south of Honshu.
This year, full bloom in Tomakomai is expected on May 5th.
One of the city’s top cherry-viewing spots, Midorigaoka Park, will hold the Midorigaoka Park Festival on May 4th. Come to Tomakomai for hanami, everyone 🌸🌸

When it comes to Tomakomai’s two signature local dishes, think Curry Ramen and Hokkigai Curry.🍜🍛
Enjoy the spicy, soul-warming curry ramen and the Hokkigai curry rich with the sweet umami of surf clams!
Both dishes have long been beloved by locals and can be found at many restaurants around the city.

The huge water mirror is actually the skating rink of the nepia Ice Arena after the ice has melted ✨
The indoor rink fills with water during the period before ice-making. Only at that time does the “water mirror” appear.
The ceiling and lights reflect on the water’s surface, creating a dreamlike scene.
