We will introduce plenty of attractive sightseeing spots in Tomakomai City, one of the leading industrial cities in Japan and the largest port city in Hokkaido!
There are many recommendations for Tomakomai, such as sightseeing spots surrounded by nature and exquisite seafood dishes unique to port towns!
Access is conveniently located in about one and a half hours by car from Sapporo City and about 30 minutes by car from New Chitose Airport, and there is also a large passenger ferry from Honshu.
Please look forward to the latest information on Tomakomai!

A mountain-opening Shinto ceremony to pray for safety took place at the summit of Mt. Tarumae on June 12th.
A newly installed information board now includes an English description.
Mt. Tarumae stands at 1,041 meters and is considered relatively easy to climb.
Some hikers are seen wearing sandals, thin-soled sneakers, or short sleeves and shorts, but we recommend trekking shoes and a windbreaker.
(The trails are slippery due to pumice ejected during past eruptions, and strong winds always blow at the summit.)

Early summer has arrived in Tomakomai, and some days now reach a high of 20°C.
The Ezo squirrel, now in its summer coat, somehow looks quite cool!

By the shores of Lake Utonai.
A red songbird, the benimasiko, and a narcissus flycatcher with a striking black-and-yellow contrast.
They look like vividly colored wild birds straight out of a fairy tale.

An aerial photo of Tomakomai ✨🛫
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

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".

Nishiki Onuma Park, located in the western part of Tomakomai, Hokkaido.
The image shows the entrance to the pond and, beyond the lawn plaza, Mt. Tarumae.
From the lawn plaza you can also follow an approximately 4-kilometer course that circles the large pond.

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.
