Hi, I’m Tabi!

Meet the sheep town of Shibetsu City through Sheep and Cloud Hill and a central roadside station. This is separate from eastern Hokkaido’s Shibetsu Town; look for 士別市 on maps.

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

What could you try?

Look for locally raised Suffolk lamb and regional products introduced by the city. Not all lamb sold here is from Shibetsu, so check origin labels, menus and availability.

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.
