  • Ueno Farm

    Hokkaido Asahikawashi Nagayamachou 16-186
    Ueno Farm was originally an ordinary rice farm. Starting in 1989, when a change in the law made it possible for farmers to sell their rice directly to consumers, Ueno Farm experienced a steady increase in the number of people visiting the farm, and the owner decided that it would be a good idea to plant flowers so that visitors could enjoy strolling round the farm; as a result, Ueno Farm became a place where people can admire different seasonal flowers at different times of year. Today, besides walking round the Farm’s gardens, visitors can also purchase herbs and seedlings grown on the Farm using seeds imported from Europe, and enjoy light meals and desserts made using locally-grown ingredients. The weekend farmers’ market, when neighboring farmers come to sell their vegetables at Ueno Farm, is also a popular event.

    Hokkaido Nayoro-shi Midorioka 222

    SL排雪列車キマキロ編成が静態保存されており、「じゃらん」の案内では名寄駅から徒歩7分と記載されていたので足を延ばしてみた。行きはタクシーを利用したが、写真などをとった後、キャリーを引いて駅まで戻り始めたがとんでもなく遠く感じた。7分どころの騒ぎではない。余裕をもって少し早めに駅に向かったが、それでも小走りとなってしまった。せっかく良い博物館でも案内の仕方によっては評価が落ちてしまう。施設の方もこ...

    国道12号線沿いにあり、個人的にはサイクリング旅の途上で何度も立ち寄っている所ですが、ここは、旧向陽小学校舎を利用して、館内がギャラリーのように運用されています。高橋要さんという方が、「想像の大地」という壮大な作品が圧巻で、実はまだ製作中の作品ですが、製作開始は1999年で完成予定は何と2029年とのことで、30年をかけた一大作品のようです。何だか、ガウディのサグラダファミリアを深川で観ているよう...

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.
