    Hokkaido Akanguntsuruimura Tsuruihigashi 1-1-3

    タンチョウヅルサンクチュアリでこちらをおすすめされまして来訪。地元のお土産屋さんという感じです。値段は非常に良心的。一番にお勧められたメンチカツ(これは高い 360円)をいただきました。2人で半分こしましたがもっと大きくてもOK。非常に美味しかったです 次回もこちらに来たら寄りたいなと思いました 暖炉の側でしばしぼーっとしたら幸せです

    Hokkaido Kawakami-gun Teshikagacho Asahi 1-7-26

    摩周駅の駅舎内に、こちらの観光案内所がありました。弟子屈町の玄関口ですから、駅舎内に観光案内所があるのは便利ですね。でも、観光で弟子屈町を訪れる人のどのくらいがJRを利用してやってくるのでしょう。かなり少数だと思います。 当然ですが、弟子屈町とその周辺、道東地区のパンフレットが充実していました。

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.
