    Hokkaido Asahikawa-shi Kamuicho Kamuikotan
    "Located approximately 40 minutes by car from JR Asahikawa Station and 50 minutes from Asahikawa Airport, this gorge at the border of the Kamikawa Basin and the Ishikari Plain is covered in rocks from both sides of the Ishikari River. The oddly shaped massive dark green and black rock is called the Kamuikotan Rock, and the Kamuikotan King hole group near the suspension bridge have been designated as a Natural Monument of the city. It is an attractive spot to enjoy the seasonal scenery such as cherry blossoms in spring and the red autumn leaves, and is known as one of the best scenic spots in the city, along with the remains of the Kamuikotan cave dwellings and the former Kamuikotan train station building. The word ""kamuikotan"" means ""the village of God"" in the Ainu language, and the Kotan Festival is held on September 23."

    Hokkaido Kamikawaguntoumachou Kaimei 4th district

    当麻町の観光地と言えば当麻鍾乳洞です。昭和の時代に発見されて今は観光地となっています。鍾乳石は自然の織りなす芸術で全町100メートルを超える長さを持っている比較的大きな鍾乳洞です。市街地からは離れていますが、行く価値はあります。

Hokkaido Areas

around-area-map

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
