Good morning!
As of 10 AM on July 7th, the temperature is 17.6℃. Some people might feel a bit chilly, but in recent years, it's not uncommon for Tomakomai to exceed 30℃. It used to be known for its coolness even in summer, making me feel like I've gone back in time.
By the way, did you know there's an area in front of the Tomakomai Chūō Library where plants native to Tomakomai are planted?🌿
You can also see the "Yachiyanagi" used in Tomakomai's craft beer "Kamuy Geiru Retara"!🍺

The magpie often seen in Tomakomai.
In Japan, it had been breeding for many years in limited areas like Saga Prefecture, but it has started to be seen in Tomakomai for about 20 to 30 years.
About the size of a pigeon, it has a stylish black and white body with long tail feathers that shimmer blue to green depending on the light✨. You might find it perched on power lines near the Tomakomai Tourist Information Center, so be sure to look for it!
