Hi, I’m Tabi!

Shinshinotsu is a farming village in Hokkaido’s Ishikari region. Begin with the roadside station’s local produce or the park around Shinotsu Lake, checking public transport and return buses first.

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