Hi, I’m Tabi!

Ebetsu introduces Hokkaido’s brick, pottery and wheat traditions. Choose the Nopporo glass museum or ceramic center first, checking separate transport for the old farm.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

Former Machimura Farm

An old farm site featured by the tourism association offers a look at agricultural history. Distinguish it from the separate working farm shop and check seasonal visitor arrangements.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Ebetsu grows wheat including Haruyutaka, and its official guide features local-wheat bread, noodles and sweets. Check origin labels and ingredients rather than assuming every bread uses local wheat.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Nopporo station → the glass museum area, checking visiting days first. Plan separate transport for the ceramic center and former farm.

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 current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
