A historic and iconic red‑and‑white striped lighthouse standing at the estuary of Ishikari River. Built in 1892, it is Hokkaido’s oldest surviving lighthouse. It was originally made of wood and painted black and white, but was later rebuilt in iron and repainted in its now-famous red and white colors after it was featured in one of Japan’s early color films. Visitors can walk along a raised boardwalk through the dunes of Hamanasu no Oka Park to get a closer view of the lighthouse. The area is especially beautiful in summer when coastal plants and roses are in bloom. The lighthouse itself is not open to the public, as it has been fully automated and unmanned since 1965, but it continues to function as an active navigational beacon visible from up to 13 nautical miles away. The surrounding area offers great views of the Ishikari River mouth, sandy shores, and distant Hokkaido landscapes. There is free parking nearby, and the spot is peaceful, photogenic, and ideal for those who appreciate nature, quiet walks, or historical landmarks.

not much nearby, but quiet and relaxing

(Translated by Google) First visit on September 10, 2024. Originally a wooden hexagonal black and white lighthouse, it has been open for over 130 years since its first lighting in 1982 (M25), and is the oldest existing lighthouse in Hokkaido.In 1908 (M41) it was rebuilt into a circular steel structure with a solid white exterior. In 1957 (S32), it was repainted to red and white at the request of the movie company before the local shooting of the Shochiku film ``How Many Years of Joy and Sorrow'' (from then on, it was repainted red and white, ``Oh Irami Saki''). ~♫”). It seems that when it opened, it was located at the tip of the Ishikari River estuary, but the sandbar has grown and it is now land about 1 km from the tip of the estuary. It is a small lighthouse with a height of 13.5m. When you visit Ishikari Lighthouse, be sure to take a look at the nearby ``Ishikari - Innocents'' bronze statue (produced by Shin Hongo). (Original) 2024年9月10日初訪問です。元々は木造六角形の白黒灯台、1982(M25)年開設初点灯から既に130余年、現存する北海道最古の灯台で1908(M41)年に鉄造円形白一色の外観への建て替えを経て、1957(S32)年に松竹映画「喜びも悲しみも幾歳月」の現地ロケ前に映画会社の要請で赤白に塗り替えられたそうです(それからは赤白、「お～いらみ～さきの～♫」)。開設時は石狩川河口先端にあったようですが、砂州が伸びて今や河口先端からは1kmほどの陸地となっているとのことです。高さ13.5mの小ぢんまりした灯台です。石狩灯台にいらした時は付近の「石狩～無辜の民」ブロンズ像(本郷新制作)も一見下さい。

(Translated by Google) I parked my car at a nearby park parking lot. Since it is the oldest lighthouse in Hokkaido, we were able to view it from various angles. It's good to see it from up close, but I think it's also nice to see it from the promenade side. (Original) 近くの公園駐車場に車をとめて訪れました。道内最古の灯台との事で、色々な角度から眺めさせていただきました。近くからも良いですが、遊歩道側から眺めるのも良いかと思います。

(Translated by Google) Hooray, I'm so happy to have arrived and visited this lighthouse. It's old, but how come it still looks so beautiful and well-maintained? Also, why is this lighthouse so small and not very tall? I recommend this lighthouse as a must-visit if you're in Ishikari, Hokkaido. (Original) Horeeeeee senang sekali bisa tiba dan mengunjungi Mercusuar ini. Sudah tua tapi kok masih tampak cantik dan terawat ya? Juga mengapa Mercusuar ini mungil dan tak tinggi sekali? Saya merekomendasikan Mercusuar ini untuk anda harus kunjungi bila ke Ishikari,Hokkaido.

(Translated by Google) 9/1 Not knowing that it was Ishikari City's Marathon & Walking Day, I wandered around Hanakawa in the city and finally arrived at the lighthouse parking lot. It was sunny and windy, so we headed to the sandy beach. Perhaps due to the front, there were lots of white waves and driftwood in sight. Enjoy the sea breeze and enjoy a cup of hot coffee. (Original) 9/1石狩市のマラソン&歩く会デーとは知らず市内花川あたりをうろうろ、やっと灯台駐車場へ。快晴&風も有り砂浜へ、前線の影響か白波多し流木見え隠れ、潮風心地よくホットコーヒーで一服。

(Translated by Google) Visited August 2024 This lighthouse is located very close to the parking lot. It can also be seen clearly from the bank of the Ishikari River. The lens from the old Ishikari Lighthouse is on display nearby. (Original) ２０２４・８　訪問 駐車場から至近距離にある灯台です。石狩川の土手からも良く見えます。近くに旧石狩灯台のレンズが展示されています。

A scenic coastal park in Ishikari that's perfect for a relaxing walk by the sea. Hamanasu no Oka Park is known for its beautiful landscape, especially the wild hamanasu (rugosa rose) flowers that bloom in summer. There’s a nice boardwalk trail that takes you through grassy dunes and offers great ocean views. It’s a quiet spot, great for nature lovers, birdwatchers, or anyone who just wants to enjoy the fresh sea breeze. There's also a nearby visitor center with local information and soft cream. Worth a stop if you're exploring Ishikari!

Windy and you can hear the sea as you walk on the board walk. There were lots of wild flowers

A scenic park in the dunes at the mouth of the Ishikari River. Lots of beach rose and other dune flowers. Good location for birdwatching. Free parking. Swimming beach (no lifeguard, and be careful of the currents). For a safer swimming beach with lifeguard, walk ten minutes southwest to Aso Beach. Small visitors' center with outdoor tap for washing and drinking. The center has photos on the second floor from Kurosawa's film "The Idiot", which was based on the Dostoyevsky book and was filmed here. Hot spring bathing a few minutes southwest by car.

Very nice natural park.

Nice peaceful walk by the ocean but not incredibly interesting

A mini Point Reyes, CA. Beautiful park and nice hiking trails. Go while the flowers are blooming.

The park is beautiful with flowers all around. The lighthouse adds to the beauty.

Date of visit: Thurs 27 Apr 2023 Time : 10 am Came here to take a look. Cherry trees blooming. A beautiful place to admire as it is big.

It's a nice place to visit during the Sakura blossom season. Many Sakura trees can be seen lining along the road. The compound is quite large so that one can visit around in own car. One thing visitors should keep in mind is it's actually a religious place housing tombs (a cemetery), so the place may not be suitable for picnic or spending a long time. Yet, the flowers are very beautiful, and the majority are light pink in color. These blooms a little later than in Sapporo. I do recommend a drive during the Sakura season. The information about whether Sakura is blooming is available as automatic response on the line. There's probably a restaurant in the central area.

(Translated by Google) 2025/05/01 Buds waiting to bloom After reading the google reviews, I thought some cherry blossoms were already in bloom==. I took the bus back and forth for almost four hours, and the cherry blossoms were still in my pocket. Fortunately, the environment here is also good. Very relaxing. The two park bus drivers saw that we were working hard and were very kind to give us a short ride. They told us that the cherry blossoms were not in bloom yet, but they were still willing to take us around the park. They were really grateful for letting us feel the warmth of the Japanese. Thank you. If the cherry blossoms here are in bloom, they will be very beautiful. (Original) 2025/05/01 花苞待放 看了google 評論，以為已經有些櫻花開了==。來回坐了快四小時的bus，結果櫻花都還在荷包待放，還好這邊環境也 很清悠。兩位園區巴士司機看到我們很辛苦的用走的，非常好心載我們一小程，並跟我們說櫻花都還沒有開，但還是願意帶我們繞繞園區，真的是非常感激讓我們感受到日本人的溫暖，謝謝你們。 如果這裡的櫻花開了，那ㄧ定是非常漂亮。

(Translated by Google) Although it is a Soka Gakkai facility (cemetery and park), it is open to the public. There are guides to guide you to an available parking lot, so you can visit by car with peace of mind. The park is well-maintained and has a wonderful view. Another attractive point is that you can see the cherry blossom tunnel while driving. (Original) 創価学会の施設（墓地と公園）ですが一般にも公開されています。誘導員の方が空いている駐車場に誘導してくれますので車で訪れても安心です。公園内はよく手入れされていて景観が素晴らしいです。ドライブしながら桜のトンネルを眺められるのも魅力のポイントてす。

(Translated by Google) 2025/05/06 First visit It was probably the best viewing day of the year. The cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the weather is sunny, the wind is calm, and the temperature is warm. There are no entrance fees or parking fees, it's free and open to the public. I thought that cherry blossoms grow in such clusters. Well, it's a result of the efforts of our predecessors, but the wonderful cherry blossoms have extended my lifespan by 3 years. It was a long holiday and the weather was nice, so I saw families having picnics under the cherry blossoms and in front of the tombstones. Don't forget, this is not a park, but a cemetery, and most people come for the cherry blossoms, but they are actually outsiders. You must observe proper etiquette and order when viewing. Since the cherry blossoms are close and growing in clusters, I could feel the scent of cherry blossoms directly. There are quite a lot of cars driving slowly, but that way you can see them more slowly, so even though it's a traffic jam, everyone is smiling and it's chaotic. I want to come again next year, but I wonder if there will ever be a day when the cherry blossoms and the weather match... (Original) 2025/05/06初訪問 多分今年一番の見頃デーでした 桜は満開・天気は晴れ・風も穏やか・気温も暖かい 入場料や駐車料金は無し、無料開放です 桜ってこんなに群生するんだ、と思った まあ、先人の努力の賜物なんですが素晴らし桜で寿命が3年延びました 連休だし好天なので、桜の下でピクニックしてる家族や墓石の前でピクニックもしてました 忘れちゃいけないがここは公園じゃなくて墓地、大半は桜目当てで来てるが本来は部外者 きちんとマナー秩序を守って鑑賞しなければならない 桜が近いのと群生してるので桜の香りがダイレクトに感じられました それなりに車が多くノロノロ走行だが、その方がゆっくり見ることができるので、渋滞なのに皆んな笑顔と言うカオス 来年も来たいが桜の具合と天候が合致する日があるだろうか、、、

(Translated by Google) It's a famous spot in the Sapporo area where cherry blossoms bloom late, so I took a one-hour drive from my hotel in Sapporo and went there first thing in the morning, even though it was raining during Golden Week. The cherry blossoms were starting to fall due to the rain, but the spectacular row of cherry trees was still a sight to behold. I'm sure it would be a truly beautiful sight if the weather was nice. There were a lot of Soka Gakkai members there to visit graves, and there was no drinking or partying (there's no space for that), so it was very quiet and nice. Next time I'd like to take pictures of the cherry blossoms in full bloom on a sunny day! (Original) 札幌周辺では桜が遅く咲く有名なスポット、という事でゴールデンウィークの雨のなか、札幌のホテルから1時間ドライブして朝イチで行って来ました。 雨で散り始めてはいましたが圧巻の桜並木。お天気が良ければ本当に美しい風景だと思います。創価学会の方達がたくさんお墓参り等にいらしていて、お酒を飲んだり馬鹿騒ぎする人々もいないので（そういうスペースがないので）静かでとても良かったです。 次は晴れた満開の桜を撮りたいな～！

(Translated by Google) Toda Memorial Cemetery Park... It's a cemetery for members of the Soka Gakkai in Atsuta, Ishikari City... I heard that it's famous for its cherry blossoms in the spring, and that many people visit to see them. I hadn't heard about it before, but I heard about it from an acquaintance. As a cherry blossom lover, I've been to see them all over the place... I thought it wouldn't be a big surprise... This is amazing! I wonder why I didn't know about it sooner!! The vast cemetery is covered in cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms! As a cemetery park, it's beautifully maintained, and the uniform tombstones make for a beautiful (sorry if that's a strange way to put it) view. I imagined that those buried here were resting peacefully amidst this beautiful landscape. But even so...I'm sorry for visiting the cemetery just to see the cherry blossoms. I'm sure the relatives of those buried there aren't feeling too happy... Those who visit to see the cherry blossoms need to observe proper etiquette (I feel the same way). By all means! Is it okay to say that? When will they bloom this year? Make your plans while checking the weather forecast. ❈I recommend visiting first thing in the morning! Otherwise, it's super crowded and you won't be able to get in.❈When I went, there was a line of cars entering the park even before it opened! First thing in the morning is the best time to go. (Original) 戸田記念墓地公園さんは〜 石狩市厚田にある創価学会の方の墓地の様なんですが… とても春には桜が有名でそれを観に訪れる方達が多いとの事だったのですが、私は知らなくて知り合いから聞いて、桜大好きな私は是非行ってみたいな… 桜大好きな私はアチコチ観に行ってるので〜 ちょっとやそっとじぁ驚きませんよ～なんて思っていたら… これは凄い！なんでもっと早く知らなかったんだろう!! 墓地の広大な土地には至る所に桜桜桜！ 墓地公園と言われているだけ有り綺麗に整備されていて、それと墓石も統一されているせいか綺麗(表現おかしかったらスミマセン)で景色素敵でしたね。 ここで眠っている方達もこの土地の景色の中、安らかに眠っていれてるんじゃないかなと勝手に思っていました。 それなのに…桜見たさにお墓に訪れてゴメンナサイ。 お墓に眠られている方のご親族の方達は余りいい気分では無いですよね… 桜を観に訪れる方達はマナーは守って見物させてもらわないとですね～(私も同じですが) 是非！と言って良いのかなぁ〜 今年はいつ頃開花するのか? 天気予報を見ながら予定を立て ❈朝一番開く時間に訪れる事オススメです！ それでないと、超激混みなので中々入れません❈ 私が行った時には開場前にも公園内に入る車の列が出来ていました! 朝イチが狙い目ですね～

(Translated by Google) Open as of October 12, 2021. Just from the perspective of sleeping in the car. You can make a bonfire right in front of you. It's a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the restrooms and kitchen building (depending on where you park), but from mid-October it's full of people fishing for salmon. Door slamming from midnight till morning! The beeping sound of the side door is loud and manners are not good. (Original) 2021年10月12日現在オープンしています。 あくまでも車中泊目線。目の前で焚き火が出来ます。駐車場からトイレや炊事棟までは多少歩きます（駐車場所によりけり）但し10月半ばからシャケ釣りをする方で満車状態に‥。夜中から朝までドアのバタン！サイドドアのピーピー音などがうるさくマナーは良くありません。

(Translated by Google) The parking lot manager is the worst. When I parked my car in the parking lot across from Seicomart, there was no one there so I couldn't pay. Later, as I was unloading my luggage in my car, an old man who appeared to be one of the managers suddenly appeared and yelled at me, ``Why aren't you paying me!'' When I managed to explain to the manager who kept getting excited that no one was there, he tone it down and said, ``Maybe they went out to lunch.'' Don't put the blame on the customer for abandoning your job and not getting paid. When I asked him why he was so quarrelsome, he replied, ``It's because I'm from the countryside.'' This time, he shifted the blame to the countryside. Couldn't there be more decent human resources? (Original) 駐車場の管理人が最悪です。セイコーマートの向かいの駐車場に車を止めたところ、誰も人がおらず料金を払えませんでした。その後、車で荷物を下ろしたりなどしていると管理人の一人と思われるオジサンが突然現れ「なんで金払わねえんだ！」と怒鳴りつけてきました。興奮し続ける管理人に、誰も人がいなかったとをなんとか説明すると「昼飯食いに行ったのかなぁ」などとトーンダウン。職場放棄して料金受け取れてない責任を客に負わすな。さらになんでそんなに喧嘩腰なのかと質問すると「俺は田舎者だからよ。」などと今度は田舎に責任転嫁する始末。もう少しまともな人材はいなかったんでしょうか？

(Translated by Google) I went there to see the stars. The parking lot is also open at night. I feel like it was pitch dark in the winter, but when I visited in July, the outside lights in the parking lot were on and it was bright. There was no one else there besides me, so it was nice and quiet. (Original) 星を見に訪れました。夜も駐車場も開放されています。冬場は真っ暗だった気がするのですが、7月に訪れたときは駐車場の外灯が点いて明るかったです。 自分以外に人も居ず、静かで良かったです。

(Translated by Google) Large campsite and parking lot available (Original) 広いキャンプ場と駐車場有

(Translated by Google) I used to go swimming in the sea in the summer 😊 Maybe because it's a suburb of Sapporo, it's during the season. As expected, it seems crowded with many people 😅 My personal problem is that the distance from the beach to the sea is quite long 😓 (Original) 夏になると昔よく来ていた海水浴😊 札幌の近郊と言うのもあってかシーズン時は やはり多くの人で混雑している様子です😅 個人的な難点は砂浜から海までの距離が結構長いことですかね😓

(Translated by Google) 2023 Hamamasu Furusato Festival (Original) 2023浜益ふるさと祭

The water is rather dark and not particularly clear. The beach itself is rather average with several beach huts where you can buy food. There are annoying buoys which indicate where you can’t swim past and that level is only about a meter deep. Other then that it’s a fine beach

The water at the buoys line is like 1 meter deep and you are not allowed to swim after 5 pm (as if you can swim in the water that shallow to begin with). Taps for washing of sand had no water. Parking fee is 1000 which is a total rip off.

Beach look very nice I will pay visit here send greetings from Poland and good wishes to king of Japan

Joined a tour and visited a salmon festival (鮭祭り) before the beach in October and it was awesome. Local Japanese people gathered there and had fun eating local gourmet like fried soba, okonomiyaki (お好み焼き), sweet snacks and of course the local signature salmon soup (石狩鍋). All food were delicious and price was reasonable. There were also traditional Japanese game booths and you could see kids enjoying playing all those little games. People also did the traditional ritual along with some performances, which was truly an incredible and interesting experience that one has to do in Japan. Beach is just an ordinary beach though. Sand is not white and it was too windy and cold to go into the water. But there still were people swimming...amazing 😅😅😅

Nice beach, but the 1,000 yen parking fee is a bit steep. They have a lot of good beach house serving food and drinks as well. A good day out with the whole family.

+ Close to Ishikari. Have toilets, fresh water shower, beach shacks - Water muddy, sand not great. Unfortunately, not too many options in the vicinity

Took a ride on the bicycle out to Aso Beach Ishikari. Flat, pleasant ride which is around 2h from Sumikawa, 1h15min from Kotoni. Seasonal shops set up on the beach where you can get all of the usual Japanese meals. Would be a good beach for kids as the waves are quite small and there are roped off areas. Plenty of space here so crowding is not an issue.

(Translated by Google) If you are coming from the Sapporo side, you will pass through the city center of Hamamasu and then take a narrow road that branches off from the national highway along the beach at the top of the slope. The width of the road is less than 4m, so it would be a problem if there was an oncoming car. You will arrive at the local museum in less than 1km. A 120-year-old banya that had fallen into disrepair was restored and opened as a local museum. If you go inside and take a photo of the hut structure, you will see that the wood that looks brand new has been used, including the roof boards. There are exhibits here to help you understand what happened when herring fishing was popular. It seems that the herring that they caught in large quantities was used as fertilizer and squeezed out for oil. The heyday of herring fishing was around the Taisho era. The bustle seems to have died down after the crowds arrived in 1955. The building is truly magnificent. The pillars are over 8 inches long, and the materials used for the raised frames and other parts are of good quality. Looking at photos from its heyday, it looks like there were a lot of people working there. Originally, the Shonai clan came here to protect the north, and it seems that a lot of people from Sakata lived there, and I wonder if the Honma family is a descendant of the wealthy merchant Honma family. It was an exhibition that taught me a lot. By the way, the slippers have "Hamamasumura" written on them, and it seems like they are more than 20 years old and are carefully used. However, it is in good condition and is not torn or torn. It's a little boring, but I'd like to see it continue in the future. (Original) 札幌側からだと、浜益の市街地をいったん通り過ぎ、坂にかかるところで国道から浜沿いに分岐する細い道を通ります。 道幅は4mもない感じで、対向車がくると困る感じです。 1kmも走らずに郷土資料館に到着します。 120年前の番屋が荒れ放題になっていたのを修復して郷土資料館として開館したそう。中に入って小屋組の写真を撮ると、確かに野地板など真新しそうな木材が使われていることがわかります。 ここでは、ニシン漁が盛んだった頃のことがわかるよう展示されています。 たくさん取れたニシンを肥料にしたり油を絞ったりしていたようです。ニシン漁の最盛期は大正時代くらいまで。昭和29年の群来を最後に賑わいはとだえたようです。 建物はほんとうに立派です。柱は8寸以上あるし、上がり框などを見ても良い材料を使っている。最盛期の写真を見ると、たくさんの人が働いていたようです。もともと庄内藩が北方警備を命じられてこの地に来たのをきっかけに、酒田の人が結構住んでいたみたいで、本間家というのは、あの豪商の本間家の系統なんでしょうか。 いろいろと勉強になる展示でした。 ちなみに、スリッパは「浜益村」と書いてあり、20年以上前のものを大事に使用しているようです。でも、ちぎれかけたりとかはなく、きれいに使用されています。 地味ですが、今後も続けていただきたいものです。

(Translated by Google) I checked the closing days and went there around 11:30 on a Wednesday, but unfortunately it was closed for some reason. When I was in elementary school and junior high school (1960s), due to my father's work, I stayed at Ofuyu's Takahashi Banya for a long time during summer vacation, so I really wanted to show my wife the inside of Nishin Banya. However, it was a bit disappointing. There was a car parked in the parking lot, so I wandered around for a while, thinking someone was inside, but it was locked and the "Preparing" sign was still up. I barely managed to take a picture of the inside by holding my smartphone against the glass window. (Original) 休館日を確認して水曜日の11時半頃に行ったのですが、残念な事になぜか閉まっていました。 小中学生の頃（昭和40年代）に父の仕事の関係で夏休みには雄冬の高橋番屋に長期で宿泊していた事が有るので、是非とも鰊番屋の中を家内に見せてやりたかったのですがちょっと残念でした。 駐車場に車が1台停まっていたので誰か中に居ると思ってしばらく周りをウロウロしていたのですが「準備中」の札が出たままで鍵がかかっていました。 ガラス窓にスマホを当ててかろうじて内部の画像を撮ってきました。

(Translated by Google) Admission fee is 300 yen for junior high school students and above! In fact, it has been operating as a museum since 1972! ️ I usually just pass by it, but this time I decided to go there with a clear purpose! During the day on weekdays, there are no other customers except the manager. I would like to watch it slowly and carefully, but does the administrator have free time? He's talking to me... It might be a nuisance for people who want to watch it carefully. . . (Original) 中学生以上300円の入館料！実に昭和46年から資料館として運営している‼️ なかなか、普段は通り過ぎてしまうところだが、今回は目的をはっきりして行ってみました！ 平日昼間、管理人のおじさん以外、客は誰も居ない…。ゆっくりじっくり観たいところだが、管理人も暇なのか？話しかけてくる、、。 じっくり観たい人には迷惑かな。。。

(Translated by Google) I happened to go there and it was closed for the winter. If I have a chance, I would like to go and see it. (Original) たまたま行ってみたら冬季休業 機会があれば行って見てみたいですね。

(Translated by Google) I've driven along National Route 231 many times, but I've never been able to visit. According to the documents, this building was originally a herring guard house built in 1899 by the Shiratori family, who were the fisheries owners. Since the 1950s, it was no longer possible to harvest herring, so it had been damaged like an abandoned house, but it has been restored and used as a local museum👏. The fishing gear, fishing mechanisms, and lifestyle that were used for herring fishing at that time are recreated🆗. This is a museum where you can feel the history of Hamamasu from the Meiji era to the Showa era at its peak👏. (Original) 何度も国道２３１号線を走りしていて、訪ねれてなかった。 資料ではこの建物は元々、網元であった白鳥家が、１８９９年(明治３２年)に建てたニシンの番屋だ。 昭和３０年代以降から、ニシンが採れなくなって、廃屋のように傷んでいたのを、修復して郷土資料館として、利用されている👏。 当時のニシン漁で、使用されていた漁具や漁の仕組みや、暮らしぶりが再現されている🆗。 浜益の明治から、昭和にかけての最盛期の歴史を感じる資料館だ👏。

(Translated by Google) It is said to have been a herring fishing house. You can park at Furusato Park and walk up the stairs. Selected as one of the ``Top 100 Historical and Cultural Properties of Fishing Villages to Preserve for the Future'', the admission fee is 300 yen for adults. (Original) 鰊漁の番屋だったそうです。ふるさと公園に駐車して、階段を歩いて行けます。『未来に残したい漁業漁村の歴史文化財産百選』に選出、入館料は大人３００円です。

(Translated by Google) The building is an old Hokkaido banya, but it was closed. There is a path to the right that leads to the upper observation deck, but there are stairs at the end, so you can't go up on a motorcycle. You can go back to the national highway and go from the restaurant above. (Original) 建物は古き北海道の番屋ですが🎵閉鎖してました😅右横に上の展望台に行ける道が有りますが❗最後は階段ですので、バイクでは上がる事が出来ません😱いったん国道に戻って上のレストランから行けますよ😀

(Translated by Google) There are different levels of play equipment for toddlers and elementary school students, so it looks like all siblings can enjoy it. There are swings with belts that even small children who can't grab the chains by themselves can ride on, and there is also a large round plastic swing that about three people can ride on. You can't swing it by yourself unless you have an adult to swing it or a child of a certain size (elementary school student). Both swings are popular and there is a fight over them. There are also about two regular swings. There is also a Tarzan rope, but it is also high and only elementary school students can ride it, so small children need assistance. Next to the playground equipment is a parking lot and a hill where you can have a picnic or walk, and there were people walking their dogs. I personally don't like dogs, so I felt a little uncomfortable walking my dog to the playground equipment. I've seen news about children being bitten, so I would like young children to stay away from the playground equipment because they are particularly bad at handling animals and may anger the dogs. There was also a stadium-like area and a baseball field. The large wisteria trellis is real, and it looks like you can cool off underneath it. The toilets don't have tables for changing diapers, so you'll probably have to take babies home in the car. The toilets themselves were well-maintained and clean. My 2-year-old, 6-year-old, and 8-year-old said they wanted to go again, so it was a great park for children too. (Original) 遊具は幼児向け、小学生向けとレベルが違うものが設置されていて兄弟みんなが楽しめそう。ブランコはベルト付きのものがありチェーンを自力で掴めない小さな子も乗れるものがあったり、大きな丸いプラスチックに3人ほど乗って揺らすブランコもあります。それは揺らす大人やある程度大きい子供（小学生）がいないと自力では揺らせません。どちらのブランコも人気で争奪戦です。普通のブランコも２個ほどあります。ターザンロープもありますが、これまた高さがあり、小学生じゃないと乗れないので幼児は補助が必要。 遊具の隣には駐車場とピクニックやお散歩できる丘があり、犬の散歩をしている人もいました。私は個人的に犬が苦手なので遊具の方まで散歩させていて少し嫌な気持ちになりました。子供が噛まれるニュースなどを見てきているので、幼い子は特に動物の扱いが下手だからワンちゃんを怒らせたりしてしまうかもしれないので遊具には近寄らないで欲しいです。 あとは競技場のようなところと野球場も併設されていました。 大きな藤棚は実物で、その下で涼んだりも出来そう。 トイレには子供のおむつ替えの台などは無く、赤ちゃんは車でかえることになりそう。トイレ自体は管理されていて綺麗でした。 2歳と6歳と8歳の子はまた行きたいと言っていたので子供達にとってもいい公園でした。

(Translated by Google) This park is so fun and comfortable. It's spacious. There's also ample free parking. The restrooms are clean! The children's play area is also great. (Original) Senang sekali dan nyamannya di Taman ini. Luaaaaas. Free parking mobilnya juga luaaaas. Toiletnya bersih !. Area bermain anak juga bagus.

(Translated by Google) It was a pleasant park! It was very spacious and I felt it was easy to play even in a social situation where there are no close quarters ^_^ The play equipment ① Exercise field for elementary school students to adults ② Complex play equipment such as slides for preschool children ③ Circle-shaped jungle gym-like play equipment for elementary school students and older It was broadly divided into Furthermore, there is a lot of nature and I saw a lot of insects! It's a park where people of all ages gather ^_^ (Original) 気持ちのいい公園でした！ とても広く、密にしない社会状況でも遊びやすいと感じました^_^ 遊具は ①小学生から大人までの運動分野 ②就学前児用の滑り台などの複合遊具 ③小学生以上がサークル形のジャングルジムのような遊具 に大きく分かれていました。 さらに、自然が多く、虫もたくさん見かけました！ 幅広い年代が集まる公園ですね^_^

(Translated by Google) The baseball field is also a beautiful and spacious park. There is play equipment and you can do things like running, so it's a good place to stop by for a little break on a sunny day! The restrooms are dark, which is typical of parks, It's a windy place, so it's not a park you'll want to stay in for a long time. It looks like it will be the home of the Hokkaido Baseball League next year, so I hope it will be crowded. (Original) 野球場もキレイで広々とした公園です。 遊具もあり、ランニングなども出来るので晴れた日に少し休憩するのに立ち寄るにはGOOD！ トイレが公園ならではの暗めなのと、 風が強いところなので、長時間滞在って感じではない公園です。 来年は北海道ベースボールリーグの本拠地になるようなので、賑わってくれるのではと期待します。

(Translated by Google) It's a spacious park. There are playground equipment such as a Tarzan rope and swings that multiple people can ride on. There are also many open spaces, so it's recommended to play soccer or catch. (Original) 広々とした公園です。ターザンロープや複数人で乗れるブランコなど遊具もあります。原っぱが多くあるのでサッカーやキャッチボールもオススメです。

(Translated by Google) The goal was the GLAY monument. It's a very large park with playground equipment, a baseball field, and parking is free, so if you're nearby, I think it's a good place to take a walk. (Original) GLAYのモニュメントが目的でした。 とても広い公園で遊具もあるし野球場もあり駐車場も無料ですので近い方はお散歩にはいいかと思います。

Nice shrine.

Located in Ishikari City’s Benten-machi neighborhood, this historic Shinto shrine was established in 1858 as a branch of Hakodate’s Hachiman Shrine and served as the spiritual guardian of Ezo (now Hokkaido). The shrine enshrines the kami Hondawake no Mikoto (Emperor Ōjin) and Uganomitama no Mikoto (the Inari deity), following the Hachiman tradition of protecting both warrior and agrarian communities. The site features a stately stone torii gate believed to be part of the original Benten-sha before relocation, along with rustic stone lanterns and a water basin that show natural weathering but add to the serene, contemplative charm. The architecture follows a simplified Shimmei-zukuri style, with a honden built to accommodate both Hachiman and Inari shrines side by side. Many visitors praise its peaceful atmosphere—there’s a quiet sense of spirituality here, making it a nice short visit of under an hour. Some note that obtaining a goshuin (shrine seal) depends on the availability of the priest, who may be away at festivals. It’s easily accessible—a ten-minute walk from the final stop of the Ishikari municipal bus—and free to enter. Perfect for travelers visiting main shrines in each Hokkaido municipality. A quiet and meaningful place worth including on any shrine-hopping route.

(Translated by Google) First visit on May 30, 2025. The origin of the shrine is said to be that in 1858, Kikuchi Shigetaka, the head priest of Hakodate Sosha Hachimangu Shrine, requested the Hakodate Magistrate to build a sub-shrine in Ishikari as the main shrine of Ezo, but in reality, it was the guidance of the Hakodate Magistrate's Office, including Arai Kinsuke, the inspector of the Ishikari Office, who pushed forward with the Ishikari Reforms. In 1861, Bunkyu 1, the shrine was temporarily enshrined on the right bank of the Ishikari River (Hachiman-cho), where the Ishikari Office was located at the time, and in 1863, Bunkyu 3, Fujieda Masahiko was dispatched as the construction manager, but due to the chaos of the end of the Edo period, the shrine building could not be built. In 1874, M7, while the shrine was still temporarily enshrined, the center of the town moved to the left bank of the Ishikari River, so after discussion, it was moved to its current location at 1 Benten-cho. At that time, there was an "Ishikari Benten Shrine" at this location, but it seems that the Benten Shrine was evicted from this location (to the current location of Bentencho 18) because "Benten Shrine is only an internal shrine of the Murayama family." Coincidentally, in the Meiji era, in response to the "Shinbutsu Bunri Rei" (law to separate Shinto and Buddhism) and the "shrine ranking system based on State Shinto," the shrine became Ishikari Gungosha in 1875-M8. (This shrine ranking system was later abolished after the end of the war and in 1946-S41 by the Shinto Directive of GHQ.) The monument, which had the name "Ishikari Gungosha Hachiman Shrine" when it was erected in 1927-S42, now has the three characters "Gungosha" filled in with cement and reads "Ishikari ●●● Hachiman Shrine." (Many shrines buried theirs to avoid interference from GHQ.) By the way, the "stone torii" was originally a "Shinmei torii" dedicated to "Ishikari Bentensha" by Suharaya Hansuke and Yoneya Magobe in 1813, but it seems to have been left as it was when Ishikari Hachiman Shrine was moved to Bentencho 1. Later, in 1920, what was originally facing the mouth of the Ishikari River was reoriented to face southeast, and the upper part of the torii was also remodeled into a Hachiman-style "Myojin torii" (a stone is inserted vertically in the middle, and both sides of the lower tier protrude) to become the current "Ishikari Hachiman Shrine torii." (There is also a monument commemorating the 30th anniversary of the relocation of the ship, erected on July 18, 1903, in the precincts, but the inscription on this monument also reads "●● 30th Anniversary Monument.") Actually, I had heard that the onboard shrine of the "escort ship Ishikari" is Ishikari Hachiman Shrine, and that the "ship's flag" was dedicated when the ship was dismantled after being discharged from service (the main anchor is in front of the Ishikari Sand Dune Wind Museum), so I thought it would be nice to check it out, but no one was there and I couldn't hear anything. I'll visit again if I get the chance. (Original) 2025年5月30日初訪問。 1858·安政5年に箱館総社八幡宮神主の菊池重賢が蝦夷地総鎮守としてその末社を石狩に建立することを箱館奉行に願い出たことがそもそもの縁起とされていますが、実際は石狩改革を押し進めた函館奉行 石狩役所調役"荒井金助"ら箱館奉行所の誘導だったそうです。1861·文久元年に当時石狩役所のあった石狩川右岸(八幡町)に仮勧請され、1863·文久3年に藤枝正彦が造営方として派遣されましたが、幕末の混乱などで社殿は建築できなかったのです。仮勧請のままであった1874·M7年まちの中心が石狩川左岸に移ったため協議の上、現在の弁天町1番地に奉遷されたとのこと。当時この場所には"石狩弁天社"がありましたが、「弁天社は村山家の内神(にすぎない)」ということで弁天社がこの場所から立ち退く(現在の弁天町18番地へ)こととなったようです。折しも、明治となって"神仏分離令"、"国家神道による社格制度"などを踏まえ1875·M8年に石狩郡郷社となっています。(この社格制度はその後終戦、1946·S21年GHQの神道指令により廃止) 1927·S2年に建立された当時に「石狩郡郷社八幡神社」の社名が入っていた碑は、現在"郡 郷社"の3文字部分がセメントで埋められ「石狩●●●八幡神社」となっています。(GHQの干渉を避けるため埋めた神社は多いようです) ちなみに、"石鳥居"について、元々1813·文化10年に栖原屋半助·米屋孫兵エが"石狩弁天社"に奉納した"神明鳥居"でありましたが、石狩八幡神社をここ弁天町1番地に遷座した際には残されてそのままだったようです。その後、1920·T20年に石狩川河口向きに建っていたものが現在の南東向きにされ、鳥居の上部も八幡形式の"明神鳥居"(真ん中に縦に石が入り、下の段の両脇が飛び出ている)として改められて現在の"石狩八幡神社の鳥居"となっています。(境内には1903·M36年7月18日に建立された"遷座三十年紀念碑"もありますが、こちらの碑文も「●●三十年 紀念碑」と埋められています) 本当は、"護衛艦 いしかり"の艦内神社が石狩八幡神社で、護衛艦いしかりがお役御免で解体処分の際の"艦旗"が奉納されているとの話を聞いたことがあったので(主錨は「いしかり砂丘の風資料館」の前にあります)、確認できたら良いなと思ったのですが、どなたもいらっしゃらずお話しはお聞きできませんでした。またの機会があれば伺います。

(Translated by Google) Although I came here in winter, it was a wonderful place, and I was able to pray quietly in a quiet space while relaxing my mind. (Original) 冬に来ましたが素敵な場所でしたよ、静かな空間の中で心引き締めながら静かにお参り出来ましたよ。

(Translated by Google) The shrine had a calming atmosphere. Even though it was lunchtime, they kindly agreed to handwrite a goshuin for me. 😊 It's a shrine I'd like to visit again. 🎵 (Original) 落ち着いた佇まいの神社でした。 お昼時にも関わらず、手書きの御朱印作成に快く応じてくださりました😊 また訪れたい神社です🎵

(Translated by Google) It is a small shrine. There seemed to be no parking lot, so I parked in the front space. It is located at the end of a well-maintained road. I kept the offering money in case it would be pranked. However, there was a small hole in the door where I could put coins in, so I threw them in. It seems that it didn't fit into the offering box properly, but I have no choice but to finish my visit. It was my first time to learn about votive tablets and how to make a simple bill holder. I tied my fortune to a tree because I didn't have a place to tie it. It's dark at dusk because of the trees, but it doesn't feel dark in the morning or during the day. As I drove through the winding roads on my way back, I felt a little like I was in a different place than usual. The surrounding buildings are low and the sky is open. 2019/9 (Original) 小さめの神社です。 駐車場はないようなので、手前のスペースに停めました。 整備された道の先にあります。 お賽銭はいたずらされるのかしまってました。しかし戸の隙間に小銭が入る小さな穴があったので投入しました。 うまく賽銭箱に入らなかったようですが、仕方ないので参拝を済ませます。 絵馬についての説明や簡易お札立て、初めてしりました。 おみくじは結ぶ場所がないのか木に結んでました。 夕暮れ行くと木々が茂ってるため暗めですが、朝や昼間は暗く感じません。 帰りは曲がりくねった道を通ると、いつもと違った場所に来た気分に少しなりました。周囲の建物は低く空がひらけてます。 2019/9

(Translated by Google) If the time coincides with the swimming school, two of the regular lanes will be closed and it will become very crowded and you will not be able to use it properly. The lanes are narrow and you may bump into each other when passing each other, so be careful. (Original) スイミングスクールと時間が重なると一般のレーンが2つほど潰されるとかなり密集してまともに利用できない レーンも狭くてすれ違う時にぶつかることもあるから気を使ってしまう

(Translated by Google) Everyone is very kind and the facility is very clean! However, because the water temperature is high and you cannot use paddles or fins, it may be a little difficult for those aiming to swim competitively or train for that purpose. (Original) 皆さんとても親切で、施設もとてもきれいです！ が、水温が高めなのと、パドルやフィンの使用が出来ないので、競泳やその為のトレーニングを目指している方は若干やりにくいところがあります。

(Translated by Google) It is a shrine that is difficult to read as “Bannaguro”. It is located in a quiet place with few buildings nearby, and although it feels desolate, it is quiet and calm. The precincts are not large, but they are clean and well-maintained, and they are clean and comfortable. The many monuments and stone monuments lined up on both sides of the approach are spectacular, and there are also four pairs of guardian dogs, which give a sense of security as they seem to be watching over the worshipers. The first torii is made of iron, but the second and third torii are stone torii, giving it an atmosphere and taste. (Original) 「ばんなぐろ」と難読の神社です 周辺に建物などが少ない閑静な場所に鎮座し、物寂しさもありますが、静かで落ちつきます 境内は広くないですが綺麗で管理されていて、清潔感もあり心地よいです 参道の両側に記念碑や石碑が幾体も並んでいて壮観で、狛犬も4対いて、参拝者を見守ってくれているようで安心感を覚えます 一の鳥居は鉄製ですが、二の鳥居と三の鳥居は石鳥居で雰囲気と趣があります

(Translated by Google) Visited the shrine around noon on weekdays. It's still snowing so much that I can't go to the chozuya. There was no one at the shrine office and I was unable to receive a stamp. It seems that each SNS account has an account. (Original) 平日のお昼頃参拝。 まだ雪が多く手水舎まで行けません。 社務所には誰もおらず御朱印は頂けませんでした。 各SNSのアカウントはある様です。

(Translated by Google) This shrine was moved from near the current Ishikari City Library about 50 years ago. When I visited, it happened to be the day of the annual festival. (Original) 50年ほど前に、現在の石狩市図書館近くから遷座された神社です。 訪れたときはちょうど例大祭の日でした。

(Translated by Google) Parking is easy. There are many stone monuments and guardian dogs. This is my second time visiting the shrine, but it is not popular and quiet. I put in the offering money, stuck my hand in, and took the fortune. I don't know if there is a talisman. Even the building that looks like a shrine office doesn't seem popular. (Original) 駐車場は、とめやすい。 石碑、狛犬が多い。 参拝は2度目だが、人気が無く静か。 お賽銭を入れ、手を突っ込んでおみくじを取った。 お守りはあるのかどうかわからない。 社務所らしき建物にも人気を感じない。
