Tokachi pasture

An avenue in Shirakaba which became a stage of a drama is in a silvery snowscape in a front page.

"Independent Administrative Institution National Livestock Breeding Center Tokachi pasture" is the official facilities which had culture and improvement multiplication of feed crop of the cow, the horse and the sheep which made use of stockbreeding technology for its object, but the part in the site is being opened to a tourist.
The popular spot by which about 13 km of avenue in Shirakaba following straightness is learned about from a pasture entrance as a location place by the continuous drama "MASSAN" (2014) etc. in the NHK morning. A branch of the white birch which defoliated is covered up by a fog deposit in midwinter, and a white flower seems to have bloomed. A contrast of an snow-white straight road and the transparent blue sky is beautiful and is the superb view I'd like to put in photograph by all means.

The "horse chasing movement" which realizes beauty of the life which moves in a lively way

The "horse chasing movement" which had lack of exercise in a winter of a horse, cancellation of a stress and difficult delivery prevention of the pregnant horse which cut down childbearing in spring for its object is being put into effect every morning at Tokachi pasture. It's opened to the public from the middle of January to the end of February, and it's possible to visit. The form that a big agriculture horse kicks snowfall about, rumbles the ground and dashes is force perfection. A horse which moves in a lively way is flooding sturdiness and beauty which are to the extent it's fascinated.
The pasture in the pasture and Property, etc. are No Entry. There are no stands and trash cans. When going to a tour by car, I'll visit with directions of rolling stock sterilization.

Jewelry ice

The artistry of the ice a freezing sea produces

That only midwinter is seen at Toyokoro (time) street facing the Pacific Ocean and Otsu coast, "jewelry ice". Freezing and after flowing in a sea, water from Tokachi-gawa is the natural phenomenon which washes a coast. It also depends on the annual weather, but it can be even seen from the middle of January even around the end of February.
Seawater freezes, and the drift ice which can be done is white, but jewelry ice is river water not including salt, so the one with the very high clarity is the feature. The form that I'm rubbed by a wave, become affable, receive light in the sun and shine is high beauty also similar to a crystal. You make natural Tsutomu beyond human intelligence actually feel.

I hold my breath in the brilliance which changes every moment.

Dawn when power of the morning sun is overflowing quietly, the daytime when the sky of vivid Tokachi blue is reflected and the evening wrapped in soft light in the evening. The jewelry ice to which an expression is changed by time, a shutter chance, fully. Early morning, um, a battery for an electronic machine falls below 20 ℃ and consumes suddenly. Don't also forget keeping warm of a camera as well as clothes and smartphone.
When rent-a-car is used from Obihiro, Direction to Otsu coast is smooth. A person anxious about driving on the winter way also has a bus tour and taxi packing of Obihiro departure and arrival.

TOKACHI ICE PARK PLUS

I challenge a skate by the downtown link which bustles with local people.

The kingdom of skate where Obihiro and Tokachi produce an Olympic player a lot. The rink where that you can get a feel for such nature of the locality shows only while it's winter in the middle of the town. Snow is trod down by a foot, water is given for about 10 days, a layer of ice is piled and it's made, indeed it's a homemade link.
It's amusement of the skate everyone connects a hand by everyone, slips and challenges difficult revolving work, and that can get rapturous in spite of the skill. There is also rental of skates, so I'll mix with a local person and start to a link. A chair pushed by hand for help is also prepared for a beginner.

The event in Hikami where I stuck to an area is also colorful.

Samurai produce "Tokachi winter River cruising"

I'll advance a river by a look of a waterfowl, and it's naturalness and one.

Obihiro river where a migratory bird of the whooper swan which comes flying from Siberia can think winter comes though it's the river which flows through a city, a lot. Activity which can sense great outdoors in Tokachi casually begins to row a boat from a shore for about 10 minutes by car from Obihiro Station, and becomes popular.
It's charm that a boat can sense the scenery near the look of a waterfowl around here in a surface of the water. Though you advance the empty bottom and a quiet river of Tokachi blue so that I may slip, you can listen for twitter of a wild bird and the flap of wings of a waterfowl. SHI, when, luxurious time to do and make them forget daily life.

During the fantastic landscape, I meet an impression only of this place.

The "KE storm" by which river fog rises like steam occurs in a cold morning when I fall below by the temperature- 15 ℃. Water vapor is stuck in a wooden branch and frozen, and a fog deposit (MU hail) appears. For the group of the whooper swan which takes a rest at the waterside when I'm lucky, big, and the chance you can approach. More popular Confections is also prepared at a sweets kingdom and Tokachi as a gift after the cruising.
"Samurai produce" then, besides a jewelry ice tour of Toyokoro (time) town is also putting various Activity plans into effect.

O and dandruff Tokachi-gawa swan festival "sairinhana R (Is it case phosphorus?)"

Ko who colors winter in Tokachi showily and fantasy of sound

Otofuke which neighbors Obihiro-shi (O and dandruff) is holding an event of illuminations for the swan which comes flying to Tokachi-gawa "O and dandruff Tokachi-gawa swan festival sairinhana" in every winter at a town. When night comes, "Ko's multicolored forest" lights up in the white earth. It's an idea an agricultural kingdom and Tokachi that thermal insulating material for agriculture is being used for table cloth in a triangle tower.
The air by which winter became clear makes illuminations stand out clearly, and Ko who resonates each other and the fantastic space sound interweaves produce some time when I strayed into the world of a dream.

An attraction using the coldness and gourmet pleasantness.

It has the abundant colorful attractions which can get rapturous from a child in addition to romantic "tunnel of light" and "zoo of light" etc. to an adult in a meeting place. The snow rafting which dashes and the backlash using the frozen coldness such as soap bubble making which freezes in an instant and snow candle making can enjoy a specially-installed course.
If a body gets cold, it's possible to become warm by hand hot water from mall hot spring and sigh of relief by the warm Waiting Room where a plastic greenhouse was used. Light meal with hot drink and the local ingredients equals the menu, and you heat up a stomach and a heart.

Natural hot spring The morning sun hot water

Rare mall hot spring which charms a public bath fan in the whole country

Obihiro and the Tokachi area where a subzero day continues in midwinter. If a body gets cold by the tour of tourist spots and Activity, how about going to a public bath a little way from Obihiro Station "the morning sun hot water"?
The morning sun hot water is 1951 year (1951) year opening. At that time was a heated water public bath, but hot spring was excavated in 1983 (1983), and it was reborn in a hot spring public bath. It has been closed at 1:00 by founder's physical condition badness, but a father of a present owner buys, and a renewal is open in 2007. A public bath fan in the way inside and outside of the country as well as localness is proud of the popularity which is to the extent he goes, intentionally.

A faucet as well as a bathtub and the shower are 100% mall hot spring.

"The morning sun hot water" includes organic matter of vegetable origin richly, worldwide, unusual mall hot spring.

Hot water of a faucet and the shower is also 100% mall hot spring. A small air bubble wraps skin soft thickly, and the body is also kind and it seems that amber hot water is being relaxed.
In the way, it's the public bath where an outstanding efficacious hot spring can be enjoyed casually, so it's very popular with domestic and abroad tourists, too. I'm certain that some time which is mingled with a local person and is flooded with a bathtub will be a memory of the travel full of warmth.
