Rokkatei Art Village (Nakasatsunai Bijutsu Village) is a serene cultural park operated by Rokkatei, Hokkaido's beloved confectionery brand, where multiple art museums are scattered among the forest. Spread across roughly 145,000 square meters, the grounds include distinctive museums such as the Aihara Kyuichiro Museum and the Koizumi Junsaku Museum, letting visitors enjoy art while strolling through birch woods. The adjoining Rokka no Mori forest features elm trees over a century old, and this fusion of art and nature across the seasons makes it a highlight of any adult getaway to Obihiro and Tokachi.

Urahoro Town

Urahoro Town sits at the eastern edge of the Tokachi region on the Pacific coast of Hokkaido — a small, nature-rich town where the wide sandy beaches of Tokachibutu meet the open Pacific Ocean. Urahoro Forest Park, selected as one of Japan's 100 Urban Parks, is a verdant park offering auto-camping, heated swimming pools, and sports facilities ideal for families.

Mt. Apoi

Mt. Apoi (810 m) is extraordinarily rare worldwide — one of very few mountains where mantle-derived peridotite (ultramafic rock) is exposed at the surface — and forms the heart of Apoi Geopark, a UNESCO Global Geopark. This unique geological environment sustains a remarkable 'flower mountain,' renowned as a treasure trove of alpine plant species found nowhere else. Endemic Hidaka Mountain Range species bloom in vivid color from May to July, drawing hikers and plant enthusiasts alike. Despite its modest elevation of 810 meters, the mountain's distinctive geology and climate create conditions where true alpine flora can thrive. Apoi Sanso lodge...
