Hi, I’m Tabi!

In Obihiro, Hokkaido’s Tokachi region, a former railway station and a leafy park offer contrasting stops. They are separate destinations, so plan transport and the return journey first.

This guide covers places within Obihiro, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Rebuilt former Kofuku Station exterior, 202101

A first-visit stop

Former Kofuku Station

旧幸福駅

Visit a former station on the closed Hiroo Line, rather than an operating rail stop. The 2021 photograph shows the station after its 2013 rebuilding, not an unchanged original structure.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

Pond at Obihiro Midorigaoka Park, October 201302

A first-visit stop

Midorigaoka Park

緑ヶ丘公園

Walk beside the pond in Obihiro’s spacious green park. The photograph dates from October 2013 and does not indicate current autumn colours. Museums and the zoo have separate operations; watch for winter ice and restricted paths.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Obihiro’s butadon tops rice with pork in a sweet soy-based sauce. Cuts and preparation vary by restaurant; compare menus and check ingredients, including pork and soy sauce.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
