Shibecha Town

--There was a small building on the outskirts of a certain town. The sign at the entrance read "Hokkaido Anywhere Travel Agency." This seems to be a very reputable travel agency that introduces the perfect travel destination to its customers.

Oh? It looks like there's someone at the counter. One person, and one animal... It looks like they're waiting for customers. Let's take a look.

Domiko (hereinafter referred to as "Do"): Lunch is almost over.

Rabbit Yukine (hereafter referred to as "Yu"): The break is over! I want the customers to come soon!

Do: Yes. We have some customers coming in the afternoon. I need to get ready soon.

Customer (hereinafter referred to as "Customer"): Umm...excuse me.

D: Welcome!

Yu: Welcome!

Customer: I want to talk to you... is it okay now...?

Yu: I was just bored so it’s okay…

Do: Hey...! Yes, it's okay. What would you like to ask?

Customer: Yes. I've been to Hokkaido many times, but I thought it would be nice to be able to forget about time in nature. I'm so busy and tired every day. I'm going to have a long vacation, so I'm going to go.

Do: I understand. Then...

Yu: How is eastern Hokkaido?

Customer: How is it?

Do: That's right. "Doto" refers to the eastern part of Hokkaido.

Do: Eastern Hokkaido is a large area, but in response to customer requests, we were thinking of visiting the Kushiro Wetlands...

Yu: There is now a summer Norokko train that runs through the Kushiro marshes! You can also go canoeing!

D: That's right. It's a place like this.

D: What do you think...?

Customer: How nice! What town is this?

Yu: It's going to stain!

D: It's called Shibecha. Let me explain it in detail.


Thank you, Domiko and Yukine. Now, from here on, I will give you a detailed explanation through narration.

What kind of place is Shibecha Town?

Shibecha Town is a town located in the eastern part of Hokkaido, where dairy farming thrives. It is about an hour north from Kushiro Station by JR train. Kushiro Airport and Nakashibetsu Airport are nearby, and it is about an hour and a half by car from the airport.

Yukine recommended the "Summer Norokko Train," also known as the "Kushiro Marsh Norokko Train." It's a very popular tourist train. It runs leisurely through the Kushiro Marsh, which offers great views. It takes about 45 minutes to travel between Kushiro and Touro in Shibecha Town.

The Kushiro Marshland is designated as a national park, and its vast, untouched landscape is its greatest attraction. It is also a precious habitat for many plants and animals, including the Japanese crane, a national special natural monument. You may even be able to see Japanese cranes at Kayanuma Station in Shibecha Town.

Also, did you know that a steam locomotive runs between Shibecha Town and Kushiro in winter? The "Steam Locomotive Winter Wetlands" runs between Kushiro and Shibecha Station in winter, and is very popular every year. You can see a different view from the summer.

In Shibecha Town, where you can enjoy nature to the fullest, you can also enjoy activities. One of the most famous activities is canoeing on the Kushiro River, which you can experience right after getting off at Toro Station! Many people enjoy this activity together with the Norokko train.

Other recommended spots include the Tawadaira Observatory, which offers a 360° view of the horizon, a rare sight even in Hokkaido, and the Tawadaira Campsite, Nijibetsu Campsite, and Toro Campsite, which are popular summer campsites.


Do: ...Your reservation is now complete. Please enjoy your stay.

Customer: Thank you very much for your advice. I want to hurry up and relax.

Yu: I'll give you a souvenir!

Customer: Oh, thank you... what's this?
