Samani Town lies along the Pacific coast of Hokkaido's Hidaka region, with the Hidaka Mountains at its back and the deep blue Pacific Ocean before it. The area centered on the town's symbol, Mt. Apoi, is recognized as the Apoi Geopark, a UNESCO Global Geopark that draws visitors for hiking and alpine plant viewing. Known as a home of famed Hidaka thoroughbreds, the town carries on a living culture built around horses. Fresh seafood drawn from both mountain and sea rounds out the appeal of a destination where visitors can enjoy Pacific Ocean scenery alongside the geological wonders of the geopark.

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...
