Hi, I’m Tabi!

An elm beside the Tokachi River and Otsu Coast reveal two sides of Toyokoro. The stops are far apart, so plan transport and consider seasonal conditions.

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

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Toyokoro Elm

ハルニレの木

A broad-canopied elm stands on the Tokachi River floodplain in Horooka. Enjoy the changing tree and sky from a respectful distance. Check floodplain access and weather, and keep out of cultivated fields.

Otsu Coast

大津海岸

Otsu Coast is known for winter “jewelry ice”: river ice carried out to sea and washed onto the beach. The photograph dates from February 2020; ice is weather-dependent. Check waves, freezing conditions and access restrictions, and stay back from the water.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Asahido in Moiwa Honcho makes doughnuts with fillings such as cream and bean paste. Consider a snack while travelling between river and coast. Check the day’s selection, stock and allergen ingredients.
