Hokkaido Kawakamigunteshikagachou Kawayuekimae 1-1-18 Kawayu Onsen Inside the station building

A café and restaurant built inside the now unmanned train station of Kawayu Onsen in 1936. What was once offices and the station master's office is now a relaxing, retro restaurant. The station master's office with its beautiful stained glass was once where Emperor Showa had a break. The slowly stewed, mouth watering beef stew is particularly well known, drawing guests far and wide to try it.

A small station cafe, we had a long wait for the train at Kawayuonsen station and decided to try it. The service was very good, the menu is small but the food was tasty. Worth a visit.

Hokkaido Kushiroshi Akanchouakankonsen 4-4-1

Nabekyuu is a restaurant specializing in local cuisine that is located near Lake Akan, surrounded by beautiful natural scenery. As might be expected, the Sockeye Salmon and Japanese Pond Smelt caught locally in Lake Akan are particularly popular. In winter, the Japanese Pond Smelt is in season and can be eaten as Tempura, fried in a light coating of batter; it has a wonderful crisp texture and a delicious mild flavor. The Sockeye Salmon is in season in early summer, when it can be enjoyed as Sashimi or grilled with salt; both are equally delicious. The restaurant’s Sockeye Salmon Don (a bowl of fish and rice) and Japanese Pond Smelt Don dishes are also available as half-sized portions, so diners can try both fish together.

The handmade soba is very tasty and texture is definitely very from those ready made one. Worth a try if you are around the area.

Hokkaido Kawakamigunteshikagachou Mashu 2-8-6

This sweets shop is located in the vicinity of the entrance to the sightseeing district of “Lake Mashu”, Teshikaga Town in the Kawakami County of Hokkaido, and this lovely light yellow building is a landmark.

The most popular is the special rich milk soft serve ice cream, and the Mashu blue ice cream is also popular. The shop’s interior has a bright open space where you can eat in.

Taste is nothing special - there’s a lot better out there. Vanilla is 9% non fat milk solids and 5% milk. Missing the deep rich creaminess you get from better ice-creams.

Hokkaido Kawakamigunteshikagachou Satsutomonai 89

This Italian restaurant secreted away in Teshikaga Town, Kawakami County has a natural river (Kushiro River), flowing directly from Lake Kussharo, behind the restaurant. The natural setting and log cabin structure make for a wonderful homey setting to savor Italian cuisine. Light cafe dishes like pasta and pizza are served for lunch, and at night it becomes a Spanish style bal. The amatriciana with Teshikaga Mashu pork, and the Hokkaido pescatore full of fresh seafood is highly recommended for lunch. Their original recipe of baked cheesecake is smooth and not too sweet, and goes well with both wine or coffee.

Very kind welcome from the owner as he accepted us without reservation. Pizza are good and pasta excellent for this nice restaurant built by the owner. Good beers also

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.
