2cafe tekuri
Enjoy the bounty of Nakafurano with the view of swaying ears of rice
The red roof of the café, which stands alone in the rice paddies overlooking the Tokachi Mountain Range, is a landmark. The warmth of wood fills the interior of the renovated farm barn. The name of the store is derived from the idea of "going at our own pace, walking slowly and steadily," and the atmosphere inside is homey and laid-back. Outside the window, you will be immersed in a luxurious atmosphere with a beautiful view of ears of rice dyed green and gold according to the season.
The owner, who honed his skills at an Italian restaurant in Sapporo, bakes natural yeast pizza in a stone oven. The fluffy, chewy texture and savory aroma are irresistible. Fresh local vegetables are used abundantly in appetizers and salads, allowing you to fully enjoy the bounty of the earth.
The owner and his wife also have a small child, so the restaurant is equipped with a small room for children and a nursing room. You can spend a relaxing time with your infant or toddler.

7Ezo Kids Explorers
Kids' program to discover and be impressed in Tomamu's forests
An outdoor program prepared by “Hoshino Resorts Tomamu” for children. Equipped with insect cages, insect nets, name tags, and exploration journals, children set out with a guide to explore the vast Tomamu Forest—an area larger than 213 Tokyo Domes—in search of animals native to Hokkaido.
Participating children will receive an “Ezo Kids Exploration Team Journal.” They’ll observe the ecology and traces left by the creatures they discover during their exploration, and write down the knowledge about the forest and its wildlife shared by their guide, along with their feelings and cherished memories from the adventure, to create a one-of-a-kind exploration journal.
The tour lasts about an hour and a half. You’ll also look for signs of wildlife, such as tracks and droppings. If you’re lucky, you might even encounter wild animals like Ezo deer, Ezo snow hares, or Arctic foxes.
