Hi, I’m Tabi!

Uryu is a farming town in Hokkaido’s Sorachi region. Explore local produce and settlement history at the roadside station or historical park. Wetland hiking is closed from October 13, 2026 and is separate from the gentle visit suggested here.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Roadside Station Denen no Sato Uryu

道の駅 田園の里うりゅう

A rest facility for local rice, produce and wetland exhibition information, pictured in 2009. Nature-center displays and actual wetland hiking are separate visits; check current operations and access independently.

Getting there
Locate the Route275 facility at Manju28-3 and check current road or bus access; it is a separate destination from the wetland trail.

02

A first-visit stop

Uryu Historical Park

雨竜町史跡公園

A park around the former Hachisuka Farm office site, with settlement history and a red-pine avenue. Check current public areas and building-viewing arrangements.

Getting there
Locate the historical-park entrance at Manju21 on official maps and plan transport and return travel separately from the roadside station.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Official roadside-station guidance introduces Uryu rice and Shokan melon. Check actual origin, variety, ingredients, allergens and seasonal availability; no local rice in every meal, particular shop or price is guaranteed.

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.
