A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
当別町
Tōbetsu offers Date family history and chocolate attractions in Hokkaido. The museum area and ROYCE’ Town are separate outings; choose a district around seasonal access and return trains.
This guide covers places within Tōbetsu, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.
01A first-visit stop
当別伊達記念館・伊達邸別館
Explore Date family and settlement-era materials. The annex hosted visiting guests; the photo shows its exterior in 2016. Check seasonal opening and winter closure.
Getting there
Check the museum and annex locations in Motomachi
02A first-visit stop
ロイズカカオ＆チョコレートタウン
Learn about cacao and chocolate through exhibits and activities. Check admission reservations and activity conditions first. The photo shows the approach station in 2022, rather than the factory.
Getting there
Check access from ROYCE’ Town station on JR’s Gakuentoshi Line
A first-visit stop
当別神社
A shrine dedicated to Date Kuninao, linked with the town’s settlement history. Add historical context to the museum visit and respect worshippers.
Getting there
Check the shrine location in Motomachi
02 · A LITTLE BITE
The tourism association features the local ROYCE’ factory shop, chocolates and baked sweets. A local production link does not mean all ingredients are grown in Tōbetsu. Check ingredients, allergens and availability.
Official guide03 · YOUR FIRST WALK
Try the Date museum and annex area → Tobetsu Shrine, checking opening and public paths. Plan ROYCE’ Town separately with reservations and return transport.
