Shiranukan Town was the first town in Hokkaido (1857) to mine coal and prospered from the coal industry. The Kamichaji area of Shiranuka Town was once a bustling coal mining town. However, the coal mines were closed in 1970. Six years later, in 1976, the Shiranucho Youth Travel Village was established in Kamichaji, a former coal mining town, as a recreational area to promote the sound development of youth.

There must be people who want to spend a quiet and relaxing time in the untouched nature, listening to the sound of the forest. For those people, we recommend the Shiranukan Youth Travel Village. It is a place where adults can return to their childhood memories and recall the days when nature was a tool for play.
