A nice place to stop by for meals, ice-cream and souvenir. Got a small kids corner too. Had a relaxing time there, seats facing lake with swans.

It's a nice place to stop for a refreshment with a small lake that you can walk up to, and also a bird sanctuary or museum - wasn't sure. They have an observatory you could go up in order to get a better view of the lake. I wouldn't go out of my way just to visit it though.

Lake Utonai Roadside Station is conviniently located along Route 36. It's a perfect rest area for those driving to or from Tomakomai City. Aside from the clean toilets the roadside station also has a souvenir shop and restaurants. If you're collecting roadside station stamps, then you should come when the roadside station is open. You won't be able to stamp when it's closed as the stamp is located near the souvenir shop.

Road station with all the usual facilities plus a look out tower overlooking Utonai Lake and perfect for observing planes landing at Chitose airport.

Food variety is not that sparse, but there’s a lot of places to chill and do something. The children section kind of makes the entire indoor area loud, but you can still chillax. There are a variety of souvenirs you can get, from frozen food to key chains, plushies, bags, wallets, etc. overall a mediocre place.

Great scenery and atmosphere. You can only go there by car. There are many car park for everyone. You can walk to the pond or go up to viewing tower to see all the pond view. You can walk to bird education center next to the pond and can walk in the walk way in forest too.

Great unobstructed view of Lake Utonai. There is a cafe for you to get your quick food fix and local specialties as well. A great pit stop as expected of Hokkaido.

This place was the perfect spot to spend some time before boarding the ferry back to the main island. The playground equipment and roller slide are super fun! Mats are provided!! The grounds are well kept. You could easily spend the entire day here canoeing, picnicking, hiking trails, etc.

Costsuco

nice place to walk and relax

Good

Great small playground. Perfect for young kids.

Place to breath

Passed by here while heading up to the airport. Free parking and toilet available. The view was quite cool but the park itself was rather underwhelming. There are a few facilities aimed for kids and a large open space, and that's about it. Maybe it would be more busy during festivals? Saw a Japanese Coast Guard ship passing by when I was here.

Nothing much to see except ferries leaving and arriving. A small play area for kids to have fun inside the fake boat

Ok

It’s a great place for kids! Especially, it has the water area during the summer time for kids to play! :)

Gents' toilet？No washlet？

Site seen

Small and nothing much to see

The Tomakomai City Technology Center, also known as the Tomakomai City Science Center, is a hands-on science museum located in Tomakomai, Hokkaido. Established in 1970 to inspire a passion for science among youth, the center has grown into a comprehensive facility featuring interactive exhibits on various scientific principles. A highlight of the center is the Mir Exhibition Hall, which houses a genuine backup module of the Soviet Union’s Mir space station, offering visitors a unique glimpse into the history of space exploration. In addition to the Mir exhibit, the center includes a planetarium with captivating shows about the cosmos. Visitors can also explore displays related to physics, chemistry, and aviation, making it an engaging destination for science enthusiasts of all ages. The center gained extra attention as a filming location for the anime and live-action series Erased (Boku dake ga Inai Machi), and a bear statue from the series, once displayed at the center, was later donated to the Tomakomai City Art Museum due to its popularity. The center is open daily from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, except on Mondays (or the following weekday if Monday is a holiday) and during the year-end and New Year holidays (December 29–January 3). Admission and parking are free. It is located about a 20-minute walk from JR Tomakomai Station. Whether you are a local resident or a visitor, the Tomakomai City Technology Center offers an educational and enjoyable experience for all ages.

For a science center in such a small local town, there were many things to see and I felt well-managed & preserved. Also, the planetarium which we were lucky to be able to watch on time was interesting. I would like to thank all the people involved for readily accepting such a sudden request.

Not a big area, worth to come take a look still. A real spacecraft that have been travelled to the space, interesting!!

We went there today with my sister and my nephews and niece. The staff are super friendly and it was a lot of fun even for the adults! Highly recommended!!

I had a beautiful experience entering the Mir Space station, and the down to earth personnel there guided me through everything and even clicked the shutter for me. There are many innovative scientific experiments and exchanging these ideas with other countries will improve the quality of education for the students. I was mesmerized to know that learning can be made this much fascinating, that me as tourist enjoyed taking time learning each of the experiments. Will definitely visit the next time I visit Japan from India

The museum is very fun with interesting and interactive exhibits. The highlight is of course the Mir space station that got here. Museum staff were so friendly and welcoming 😊

Good little science center. Not commercialised. Great place to bring kids that are interested in visual tricks, aircraft turbine, how wing generate lift force, pulley system, space station and history. Highlight of the center is the real space station.

the best sushi I had in Hokkaido

Omg the food is so fresh and so good! Love it!

(Translated by Google) I've been to quite a few conveyor-belt sushi restaurants in Hokkaido, but this is by far the best. They offer a solid selection of local ingredients and the recommended items are always great. The atmosphere is local and relaxed, and the chefs are incredibly attentive, which is rare for a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant. The menu names are playful, the service is extensive, and ferry passengers receive a 5% discount. I'm always delighted by the dignified hospitality. (Original) 北海道の回転寿司はかなり行きましたが、ここが一番です。地のネタもしっかりありおすすめの品にハズレなし。雰囲気もローカルで落ち着いていて職人さんも回転寿司では珍しく丁寧な仕事をしています、メニューのネーミングに遊び心ありでサービスも豊富、フェリーのお客さんは5%引き、堂々のおもてなしにいつも嬉しい気持ちになります。

(Translated by Google) Kaitenmaru (Conveyor Belt Sushi) — A casual place for the whole family to enjoy local ingredients. We stopped off here in between sightseeing. The response time for orders was quick, and the booth seats made it easy to eat with children. The blue fish and shellfish were fresh, and the rice was light and easy to eat. The side of potato mochi with butter was better than we expected, making it the perfect palate cleanser. While the price isn't the cheapest, it's reasonable considering the content. Some dishes are hit or miss, but overall the satisfaction level is high. We recommend enjoying the seasonal ingredients together with the sides. (Original) 海天丸（回転寿司）— 家族で気軽に、地物もしっかり楽しめる。 観光の合間に利用。注文のレスポンスが早く、ボックス席で子連れでも落ち着いて食べられました。青魚や貝は鮮度よく、シャリは軽めで食べ進みやすいバランス。サイドのいももちバターが想像以上に良く、合間の箸休めに最高でした。 価格は最安ではないものの、内容を考えれば納得感あり。皿によっては当たり外れも少しありますが、総じて満足度は高め。 旬ネタとサイドを絡めて楽しむのがおすすめです。

(Translated by Google) Our first meal in Hokkaido was at a local sushi chain. The food was high quality, and I highly recommend the green onion, wasabi rolls, and shrimp head miso soup. The fried oysters and the Edomae sushi set were only 2200 yen and were super delicious. (Original) 抵達北海道的第一餐，就是吃當地的連鎖壽司，高品質的料理，超推青甘肚，山芥末卷，蝦頭味增湯。炸牡蠣，另外江戶前壽司組，只要2200日圓，超級好吃

(Translated by Google) I visited on a weekday just after 1pm. I went alone so I sat at the counter, but the sushi made in front of me seemed a little small. I think even women can enjoy a variety of sushi. The Atka mackerel sushi was very delicious. They served coffee with lunch. (Original) 平日の13時過ぎ頃に利用させていただきました。 ひとりで入ったのでカウンターですが、 目の前で握ってくれる寿司は、少し小さめな感じです。 女性でも色々なお寿司が楽しめるののではないでしょうか。 ホッケの握り、とても美味しかったです。 ランチでコーヒーのサービスがありました。

(Translated by Google) The quality of the ingredients was so good that it was hard to believe it was a chain restaurant. The fatty tuna was sweet, the boiled surf clams were light and fluffy, and the whelks were crunchy. I ended up ordering more of each. (The surf clams were out of stock, so I couldn't get a refill.) Salt goes better with it than soy sauce, and this conveyor-belt sushi restaurant lived up to its reputation. (Original) チェーン店とは思えないネタのよさ、大トロは甘く、ゆでホッキ貝はふわっと軽やかで、つぶ貝はコリッと弾み、どれも追加したほど。※ホッキ貝か品切れでおかわりできず 醤油より塩が合う、口コミの人気に違わない回転寿司屋さんでした。

Just ok for normal tonkatsu meal

(Translated by Google) Simple service and good food quality. I think the taste is very good considering the price. Normal cutlet, loin cutlet, fillet cutlet. Low price even if you order fillet cutlet! There are tonkatsu chain restaurants that have improved their service and quality, but Katsuya has lowered the hurdles to eating tonkatsu by elegantly simplifying their service and keeping prices low. I am grateful that I can easily enjoy tonkatsu. However, since it is a low-priced store, you can feel that the customer base is proportionate. Also, I was disappointed that the accompanying cabbage was very dry and dry. The same goes for the optional salad. However, even with that in mind, I think it's amazing that they are able to keep the price so low. (Original) シンプルなサービスで、丁度よい食品質。お味は価格から考えるととても良いと思います。 ノーマルのカツ、ロースカツ、ヒレカツ。ヒレカツを注文しても低価格！ サービスと品質を高めたとんかつチェーン店がありますが、潔くサービスをシンプル化して低価格を実現しているかつやさんはとんかつ食のハードルを下げてくれています。気軽にとんかつをいただける事に感謝。しかし低価格店舗なだけに客層も比例しているのが肌で感じられます。 また、付け合せのキャベツの乾燥具合が強く、パサついているのが残念でした。オプションでいただいたサラダも同様です。しかし、それを差し引いても低価格を実現してくれていることがすごいと感じます。

(Translated by Google) It was very delicious. However, the toilet was dirty and I felt disgusted... I saw ◯◯◯ left on the edge of the stool ◯, and I felt very disappointed. I was surprised that the restrooms were shared by both men and women. But it's delicious, so next time I'll order takeout. Thank you for the meal. (Original) とても美味しく頂きました。 なのにトイレが汚くて萎えてしまいました…。 便◯のふちに◯◯◯が残ってるのが見えてしまい、すごく残念な気持ちになってしまいました。そもそもトイレが男女一緒なのもびっくりしました。 でも美味しいので、次回はテイクアウトにします。 ご馳走様でした。

(Translated by Google) Katsuya Tomakomai Branch, Hokkaido. I had a meeting at lunchtime, so I dropped in around 10:30 for an early lunch. There were only two other customers in the restaurant, so it seemed like it was pretty quiet. On this day, I ordered the Katsu Curry (Bamboo) with extra rice for ¥1,221. The bowl arrived in about eight minutes. The curry and katsu were as delicious as always. It seems like it's possible to achieve the same level of deliciousness no matter where you eat, but it's actually quite difficult. It was a little while after they'd just opened, so the air conditioning was a little too strong and it was chilly. Before I knew it, autumn had arrived. Thank you for the meal. (Original) かつや 北海道苫小牧店さん。 お昼に打ち合わせがあり早めのランチをいただきに10時半頃訪問。店内には先客2名のみ、時間的に空いていますね。 この日はカツカレー(竹)ご飯大盛¥1,221を注文。8分ほどで着丼です。 カレーもカツもいつもと変わらぬ美味しさ。どこのお店で食べても同じ水準の美味さって出来そうで難しい事ですよね。 開店して間もない時間帯なのか、少しクーラー効きすぎで寒かったです。気づいたら秋ですね。ごちそうさまでした。

(Translated by Google) For a limited time only, you can get the Triple Katsudon Light with small tonjiru soup for just 1,000 yen using a coupon! Even light food is enough to fill you up. Katsuya, it's stable. (Original) 期間限定のトリプルカツ丼ライトに、とん汁小で、クーポン使って１０００円ジャスト！ ライトでも十分お腹いっぱいに。かつや、安定してるな〜。

(Translated by Google) "Katsuya's katsu curry is surprisingly recommended." I trusted my coworker's words and finally got to try it, even though it was late. The katsu curry at this time (after 10:00 PM) was as sinful as the ramen I ate at that time. 😋 I'm grateful to Katsuya for serving high-calorie meals even late at night. 😁 (Original) 「かつやのカツカレーが意外にオススメ」 職場の先輩の言葉を信じて 遅い時間帯ではありましたが ついに体験することができました この時間（22:00過ぎ）のカツカレーは この時間帯に食べるラーメン同様 罪な味でした😋 深夜でも 高カロリーな食事ができる「かつや」さん ありがたいです😁

(Translated by Google) I stopped by for lunch after a long time. I ordered the double pork loin cutlet set, and my partner ordered the shrimp fin minced meat set. The meat was dry and hard, and I thought it was completely different from other Katsuyas, but I didn't want to bother complaining about the quality, so I just ate it as is. My partner didn't like it so much that he left the shrimp. I wonder if it's the chef's fault. (Original) 久しぶりにランチで立ち寄り。ダブルロースかつ定食、相方はエビひれメンチ定食、パサパサでカチカチのが出て来たこれは他のかつやと比べて全然違うと思ったけど出来栄えに関してのクレームするのも面倒なのでそのまま食す、相方はエビ残すぐらいお気に召さなかったらしい。作ってる人が悪いって事なのかなぁ。

Decided to check out this place because it's a stone's throw away from the laundromat (and I have about an hour to spare before collecting my laundry). Turns out that this is quite a local favourite, and there's a healthy stream of customers. What separates this ramen place from others in Tomakomai is that there's a variety of ramen to choose from - not only Japanese staples like miso and shoyu but also Chinese variations. The set meals are cheap but don't expect generous offerings of vegetables / garnishes. The soup base is slightly on the oily side for those more health-conscious but that hasn't stopped me from slurping up the soup... Tomakomai is not exactly known for sushi but its ramen here definitely rivals some of the best in Sapporo that I've tried.

(Translated by Google) Aji no Oudou? happened to be closed, but I wanted to eat miso curry ramen, so I came here. I regret not getting any toppings. Potato piroshki? It had something like a dumpling in it, and it went perfectly with the soup!! I should have added some bean sprouts or corn... It had a spicy, oily, and slightly hot taste, and I'd like to eat it again. But I wonder when I'll come to Tomakomai next lol (Original) 味の王道？がたまたま休みで、でも味噌カレーラーメン食べたくて、こちらにきました。 トッピングをしなかった事を後悔したなー。 ジャガイモのピロシキ？だんごみたいのが入ってたんだが、スープと抜群に合う！！ もやしとかコーンとか足せば良かったーー、、、 スパイス感あり、オイル感強め、ほんのり辛い感じでまた食べたい。 でも、苫小牧は次いつ来るかなぁw

(Translated by Google) Curious about the Tomakomai ramen that @k.k.priest, who has conquered every roadside station in Hokkaido, had tried, I headed to Ramen Restaurant Ningle Futaba. According to k.k.priest, it's "the flavor of a working man." The menu even specifically describes the Northern Country soy sauce and miso as "strong-flavored." I ordered the Northern Country soy sauce fried rice ramen set for ¥1,250. It was 3:30 p.m., so I thought it might be empty, but the restaurant was super crowded due to Obon. The raised area, which has quite a lot of seating, and the tables were all full, with only the counter open. The bowl arrived. The garlic aroma was incredible. I took a sip of the soup... This has got to be a crazy seasoning. The moment I gave up on finishing it, I took my first sip. Slurping the medium-thick noodles, the full-bodied garlic flavor and the rich, rich soy sauce soup mixed together was amazing. Every bite was rich and satisfying... The color was so deep, it felt like swallowing a black hole. And the soup never cooled down. It's rare to find ramen that's this memorable. The fried rice was simple yet delicious, with the kind of local Chinese food that's just right. Looking around, everyone around me was ordering the fried rice set... It was amazing. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 北海道内の道の駅を全制覇した @k.k.priest さんが食べていた苫小牧のラーメンが気になって、ラーメンレストランニングル 双葉店に行きました。 k.k.priestさん曰く「労働者の味」 メニューにも「濃い味」とわざわざ書いてある北の国醤油と味噌。 北の国醤油のチャーハンラーメンセット ¥1250をお願いしました。 15時半なので空いてるかなと思ったら、お盆で激混みの店内、かなり席数がある小上がりとテーブル満席、カウンターだけが少し空いてました。 着丼 半端なく香ります、ニンニクが。 スープを一口、これは… カエシが大変な事になってるやつ。 完飲を諦めた瞬間が最初の一口でした。 中太麺をすすると全開のデフォニンニクとガッツリ濃い醤油スープが絡んでヤバい。 一口一口がいちいち深いです… 色も濃過ぎてブラックホールを飲み込んでる感じ。 そして全然冷めないスープ。 こんなに印象的なラーメンもかなり珍しい。 チャーハンはシンプルながら激ウマ、こういうのでいいんだよ系の町中華の味でした。 見渡せば周りみんなチャーハンセットを頼んでる… ヤバかったです、 ごちそうさまでした。

(Translated by Google) My favorite is Kita no Kuni Soy Sauce. I love the taste of this soup, so I always go there when I come to Tomakomai. I was impressed that the bean sprouts tasted even better when I ate it for the first time in a while. I don't know how many years ago it changed, but maybe the cooking method has changed? It seems to mix better with the noodles and soup than before, and it's easier to get used to. Thanks to that, I get 100 out of 100👍 And this time I tried topping it with green onions for the first time, and it was a great choice. I think I'll continue to use it this way. (Original) 本命は北の国醤油。このスープの味が大好きで苫小牧に来たら必ず行きます。 久々に食べたらもやしの美味しさがアップしていて感動しました。 何年前に変わったのか分からないけど調理法が変わったんですかね？以前のものより麺やスープによく絡むというか、馴染みやすくなったように感じました。おかげで100満点です👍 そして今回初めてネギをトッピングしてみましたが大正解。今後もこれでいこうかと思います。

(Translated by Google) I visited in the evening. I was debating whether to order soy sauce ramen or clam miso ramen, and decided on the clam miso ramen. The clam broth was really tasty. It would have been even better if it had had a twist. I had a bite of the soy sauce ramen and it was delicious, so I recommend that! Thank you for the meal. (Original) 夕方に伺いました。 しょうゆラーメンとしじみ味噌ラーメンどちらにするか悩んでしじみ味噌ラーメンにししました。 しっかりしじみのお出汁も感じ美味しく頂きました。何かひねりがあったらもっと良かったてです。しょうゆラーメンをひとくち頂いたらとても美味しかったので、そちらがオススメです〜！ごちそうさまでした。

(Translated by Google) I've been here many times. I think it's a restaurant that locals often go to. If it was near my house, I'd probably go there often. Today I tried the light salt version. The soup is mild and delicious. The flavor is mild overall, so the saltiness of the pork slices really makes an impact. I'm happy I used the usual discount coupon. (Original) もう何回も来ています。地元の方がよく行くお店だと思います。自分の家の近くにあったらよく行くと思います。 今日はあっさり塩にしてみました。スープは優しく美味しいですね。全体が優しいのでチャーシューの塩っけがインパクトあります。お馴染みの割引券を使って満足です

(Translated by Google) I had a set of soy sauce ramen and fried rice at Ramen Restaurant Ningle Futaba. The soup was rich with a strong garlic flavor, just the way I like it. The fragrant aroma whetted my appetite. The balance with the noodles was perfect, and I enjoyed it until the very end. The fried rice was light and fluffy, and went perfectly with the ramen. (Original) ラーメンレストランニングル双葉店で、醤油ラーメンとチャーハンのセットをいただきました。スープはニンニクがしっかり効いた濃いめの味で、自分好みの一杯。香ばしい香りが食欲をそそります。麺とのバランスも良く、最後まで飽きずに楽しめました。チャーハンはパラッとしていて、ラーメンとの相性も抜群。

Lovely beef BBQ with a simple English menu. They use high quality coals. Service also good. Ventilation and such aren't working well Unsure on what kinds of beef it is but its quality is nice. It isn't cheap by Japanese standards but nicely located near airport.

Fantastic last meal before heading to chitose airport, great way to end our Hokkaido trip. Very memorable with spacious seating, hot charcoal grill that cooks the meat to perfection, and great desserts too. If u are near the airport, come here for bbq, definitely no regrets.

Amazing Wagyu steak house. We arrived late at night 7.30pm but the manager still allowed us in to make the last order. Ambience is superb and staff were helpful even though they didn’t speak any English. Very Good value for money considering what they served.

Amazing food, amazing ambience, but do note that it's slightly towards the thickets so might be a bit difficult to spot at night

The best wagyu I have ever tasted in my entire life. Food was phenomenal, but the service and ambience were what made the entire experience. Cuts of meat were marbled perfection. The restaurant’s a little out of way though, but that’s also a good point because the quiet atmosphere allowed us to enjoy our meal in peace. This was my best meal in Hokkaido and it was worth every cent we spent on it. I will definitely go out of the way to visit again if I were to return to Hokkaido.

The view and the full wooden restaurant location itself worth 4 stars, plus food quality and nice services and real charcoal grill all earn up to straight 5stars.

Wagyu Bibi steakhouse still serve one of the best steak with it's marvellous sauce

The Lake Shikotsuko Visitor Center in Chitose is an excellent starting point for exploring the stunning caldera lake and its surroundings. Located in an eco-friendly building powered by solar panels and geothermal heating, the center offers free admission and operates daily, with seasonal closures during some winter Tuesdays. Inside, visitors can enjoy exhibits on the lake's flora, fauna, volcanic origins, and ecology, including taxidermied animals, an aquarium featuring kokanee salmon, interactive displays, and a 15-minute multilingual film showcasing the beauty of Lake Shikotsu through the seasons. Since 2020, the center has introduced VR goggles, allowing guests to explore off-limits areas such as moss caves and underwater scenes virtually. Seasonal activities like birdwatching, guided hikes, and snowshoe walks are also organized, making it a great spot for nature enthusiasts. The center provides useful amenities, including free Wi-Fi, walking maps, wheelchair access, and a cozy lounge with views of the lake. Open from April to November between 9:00 and 17:30, and from December to March between 9:30 and 16:30, it is accessible by bus from Chitose Station or New Chitose Airport, with parking available seasonally. Whether you're here for the scenery, activities, or learning about the lake’s natural history, the Lake Shikotsuko Visitor Center is a must-visit destination.

On May 9, 2025, I was attracted by the cherry blossoms in the vicinity. Having taken photos to my heart’s content, I wondered what was the building in the background. So I learned it’s a visitor’s center; but as a visitor, I was only interested to see the cherries in full bloom!

Nice place to relax. But we were part of a group tour from sapporo so that won't happen. Tried the ice cream there, took in the sights and pictures and had to quickly go. Nice place though if you have time

We've accidentally got on Ice festival there, was very beautiful for only 500yen. Recommend to come with kids or for couples, very fun and romantic. Lake is also breathtaking! Many food shops and restaurants around. For drivers there is HUGE free parking lot. My friend recommended marshmallow to try inside of the ice village.

Great place to detour. There is welcome center with koganee (local salmon like fish) aquarium and local live frogs and lizard exhibits. The welcome center itself is cozy with great snacking lunch place nearby

Nice place to stopover at the lake. There are restaurants which you can have your meal. You can walk around the visitor centre to the red train bridge which was manufactured in UK

Great place to stop on a journey around lake shikotsuko. Interesting exhibits including some live local snakes and good information about the area.

I've been here multiple times and it's always beautiful. You can walk, use the sightseeing boat, swanboats, paddle boats etc. They all cost between 1000-2000 yen per 30mins to 1 hour. Perfect place to rest with family or even alone. Though make sure to bring CASH!! All the restaurant use cash expect for 1 or 2 store. There's an ATM on the map nearby but closes at 12pm. Also all the shops closes by 1600 and 1700

Lake Shikotsu, a stop between 2 cities! Driving from Sapporo to Noboribetsu isn’t that long, about an hour and a half, or so I thought! (Read the bottom part) so we decided to make a stopover at Lake Shitose! About half way between Sapporo & Noboribetsu. What an amazing destination & a total favourite with both locals & tourists alike! They have this humongous Tourist Information Center, a whole bunch of very popular restaurants, and an activity Center, can rent canoes and all kind of other lake related stuff! My lady wanted to do the “Swan Ride” on the lake, but unfortunately closed as the water was a tad choppy! A lovely park for a nice stroll and of course a promenade, to wander along! Enjoyable for a 90 minute layover so to speak! Certainly worth it! too #googlemaps! Please make sure you update your navigation, the road to get out from there, was closed adding another 60 minute driving! Although the scenery was lovely but still! 😡 #sapporo #Japantravels #MarketAdventures #gourmettravels #selfdrivingholidays #hokkaido #noboribetsu #sapporo #lakeshikotsu

Lake Shikotsu is truly a natural wonder. Surrounded by lush greenery and rolling forested mountains, the scenery feels both peaceful and vibrant. The lake itself is remarkably clean, with crystal-clear water that shimmers beautifully under the sunlight. There’s a refreshing moisture in the air that makes every breath feel crisp and pure, almost like nature’s own air spa. What makes Lake Shikotsu so amazing is its serene beauty combined with its untouched atmosphere. The calm surface of the water reflects the surrounding green hills, creating postcard-like views in every direction. Whether walking along the lakeside, taking a boat out, or simply sitting by the shore, it’s easy to feel relaxed and recharged here. Overall, Lake Shikotsu is one of Hokkaido’s most beautiful natural spots—green, clean, and full of life. A perfect escape for anyone who loves pure nature and breathtaking landscapes.

Spectacular lake view surrounded by interesting volcanoes. I suggest coming in autumn when most of the leaves are yellow and red, which will enhance the experience. You can go stand up paddle boarding and pedal boating on the lakes. On a clear day, the reflections of the clouds and mountains in the water is incredible. When you take photos of the fish, the reflection makes it look like the fish are swimming in the clouds. Perfect for any occasion, this place is a must come.

This place was clod with strong gust of wind… it gives a vibe of winter wonderland. The shop closes early at 4pm so we weren’t able to have a snack. It was too bad that we missed the last day of ice festival, just 1 day before as well. Despite all of those, still nice to be here… this place is mesmerizing 🥰

I visited Lake Shikotsu and it was a very nice experience overall. The lake is known for its beautifully clear water and stunning scenic views, and it definitely lived up to its reputation in that regard. The natural surroundings are peaceful and make for a relaxing atmosphere — great for taking a walk or just enjoying the scenery. There are a few things to see and do around the lake area — you can explore the walking paths, visit the small shops and cafés nearby, or take a sightseeing boat ride on the lake. The views of the mountains reflecting on the water are truly beautiful, especially on a clear day. That said, the area itself is relatively small, so depending on what you’re looking for, it may be more of a short visit than a full-day activity. It’s great if you want to appreciate nature and take some nice photos, but there aren’t a huge number of attractions or activities beyond the lake itself. Overall, Lake Shikotsu is worth a visit if you’re in the area and want to enjoy some beautiful natural scenery. It’s a nice, calm place to take a break from the city and soak in the views.

Amazing place, visited during Autumn and the weather was great, people were nice. The view was breathtaking, the carpark have sufficient lots for self-drivers as well.

Mt. Tarumae, one of Hokkaido's iconic active volcanoes, offers an unforgettable experience for adventure seekers and nature lovers. The hike to the summit is relatively short, taking around 1-2 hours, but it rewards you with stunning views of Lake Shikotsu, the surrounding mountains, and the impressive volcanic crater. The trail is well-maintained and suitable for beginners with a moderate level of fitness. However, the terrain near the crater can be rocky, so proper hiking shoes are recommended. The sight of the steaming vents and rugged volcanic landscape is both thrilling and humbling, making it a must-visit for those exploring the natural beauty of Hokkaido. While the best times to visit are late spring to early fall, Mt. Tarumae offers a unique charm in every season. Just be sure to check volcanic activity updates before your hike. Whether you’re seeking breathtaking views or a memorable outdoor adventure, Mt. Tarumae does not disappoint.

Very easy to climb from the car park. Car park gets full in summer time in the weekend. So better be there earlier morning. Peak of East was very windy, you will need a jacket. Good things about Tarumae is There will be beautiful view of Lake Shiretoko all the way to the top. After exercise, recommendation is hot spring to Shiretoko and Marukoma. 1000jpy each but close for visitors by 15:00.

We climbed this today in 30 degree heat. I’m an unfit 54 year old. We were not equipped for the dry conditions (no walking boots or sticks) which resulted in lots of skidding and falls on the way back down. It’s an amazing view at the top but don’t let your husband reassure you that trainers will be fine. It took 3hrs but we headed back down after the shrine rather than doing the whole crater.

Great short hike spot! We spent about 2.5hours for up and down including taking a rest few times on the way and top of the mountain. The parking area is quite limited so recommend to go early morning especially if you are going on the weekend. The path is very slippery so recommend to wear proper hike shoes.

A lovely hike from the parking lot up to the mountain. It takes roughly an hour to get up from the parking lot and you have several options to get back. From the top you get a stunning view. Bring enough water as there is no chance to get some from parking to the top. Toilets are available at the parking lot so better use them before you start your hike.

Car parking space available. Write your name down in the notebook inside the box next to hike trail start point, to help in case of emergency. Hike takes around 1 hour. The visibility was very low and the smell of gas (poisonous) was strong due to wind. So, we didn’t stay for long.

Lovely hike, not challenging at all. The views were really pretty! Definitely recommend!

It is spring time, so we can't see beautiful flowers and leaves. But the walk around the pond is very comfortable. I would love to come back again. 🍁🍀☘😍

This place was unexpectedly really nice and relaxing, it’s the perfect spot to visit before getting on the ferry. If you have 2 hours to kill, this is the place to do it softly.

Verrygood

Good

(Translated by Google) It's a good walking course. Is the Onuma course a little long? It's quiet and a little scary... The other day, I met an Ezo squirrel! (Original) いい散歩コースです。大沼コースはちょっと長いかな？静かで少し怖いし・・。この間はエゾリスに出会えました！

(Translated by Google) It was very beautiful. It was well maintained from early in the morning and it was a very pleasant place to take a walk. (Original) とても綺麗でした。早朝から手入れもされていて散歩するととても気持ちがいい場所です。

(Translated by Google) I went to Nishiki Onuma Park. To be honest, I imagined the water to be murky because of the name "swamp," but I was surprised to see how clear and beautiful the water was. The scenery reflected on the lake's surface was fantastic, and the park has a calming atmosphere where you can feel the changing seasons. There are walking paths within the park, so you can take a leisurely stroll and enjoy nature. The view of Mt. Tarumae in particular was majestic and impressive, and it was a great spot for taking photos. It's a great place to visit with family or friends, but also a great place to go alone and enjoy nature in peace. (Original) 錦大沼公園に行ってきました。 正直「沼」という名前から濁った水を想像していましたが、実際は水が澄んでいてとても美しく驚きました。 湖面に映る景色も幻想的で、四季折々の自然を感じられる落ち着いた雰囲気です。 公園内は散策路が整備されており、のんびり歩きながら自然を満喫できます。 特に樽前山を望む眺めは雄大で迫力があり、写真を撮るにも絶好のスポットでした。 家族や友人と訪れるのはもちろん、一人で静かに自然を感じたいときにもおすすめの場所です。

Pricey but delicious! Very good kurobuta tonkatsu. We went at 5.30pm for dinner to avoid the crowd Update in 2024: Still the best! They had Okinawa pork which was sweet and juicy. This time we went for lunch and the lunch sets were truly value for money 😍

I won't be the first and the last to say this, but this place serves the beat tonkatsu in Tomakomai, and possibly even Hokkaido. That's if you believe the ridiculously tall trophy and three medals with the kanji "賞" on it, which means accolade. And to strengthen their credentials, there's a snapshot of an entry in the Michelin Hokkaido Guide. I knew this place served delicious tonkatsu, but the Michelin label caught me by surprise. However, the proof, as they say, is in the "pudding", in this case, the pork. And for just under 2,000 yen, I treated my belly people to two strips of fried pork cutlets (i.e. tonkatsu) - the meat is juicy, succulent and fried to perfection!!! Which explains why I ended up devouring two strips, as the popular 1,200 yen lunch set I ordered just wasn't enough to satisfy my belly people. Thankfully, you can order a la carte, and I gleefully asked for another strip of pork (770 yen). The second serving of meat was even thicker and juicier than the first!!! And I was also offered another serving of rice (for free!) I rounded off my meal with a scoop of ice cream (on the house). Those who do not have a sweet tooth can opt to go with coffee instead. What a magnificent lunch, truly worthy of the Michelin merit!!!

Best tonkatsu ever that I have tried. If you so happen nearby, please go and try yourself. Tonkatsu best to be served with salt, marvellous matching and unbeatable.

Very good food. Love the croquettes and the cheese mince ball

Best Tonkatsu I ever had!

(Translated by Google) If you want to eat delicious tonkatsu in Tomakomai right now, this is the place. Although there are some complaints, the service is very diligent and the tonkatsu itself is delicious! ●Loin cutlet set 160g 1,890 yen Moist and tender pork loin with an elegant flavor, lightly fried with a crispy coating, and a spicy sauce that cuts the sweetness...it's so good! You'll be happy to have one refill of rice, cabbage, and miso soup, and you'll also get ice cream or coffee after your meal. (Original) 苫小牧で今、美味しいとんかつが食べたいならココ…かな。色々ツッコミ所はあるけれど、サービスの一生懸命さもあり、やはりとんかつ自体が美味しい！ ●ロースかつ御膳　160g 1,890円 しっとり柔らかで上品な旨味の豚ロース、軽やかに揚がったサックサクの衣、甘さカットのスパイシーなソース…良いですよ！ご飯、キャベツ、味噌汁おかわり一回自由が嬉しく、食後はアイスかコーヒーが付きます。

(Translated by Google) It was a restaurant with a great atmosphere. The rice was delicious, the meat was tender, and the shrimp was plump. Everything was delicious❤ And after the meal, coffee or ice cream was served❗I was very satisfied! (Original) とてもいい雰囲気なお店でした。 ご飯もとても美味しくて、お肉は柔らかくて海老もプリプリしててどれも美味しかったですっ❤ そして、食後にはコーヒかアイスがついてくるっ❗とても大満足でしたっ

Soso. Not bad but not the great one. The food was good, the atmosphere having a big tall trees all around was also good. However, the fairways in every course had debots. If you stay around the airport area, its ok to visit here. But if you stay around sapporo, I would recommend other courses instead.

Greeeeeet place

(Translated by Google) It's a long course, with well-placed hazards such as ponds and bunkers, making it a rewarding course to play. The cherry blossoms are beautiful. (Original) 距離もあり、池やバンカーのハザードも適度に配置され、プレーしごたえのあるコースです。 桜がキレイ。

(Translated by Google) It's been 7 years since my last visit. It's a good course with a good distance from the full back. It's well maintained. I wish it was a little cheaper. (Original) 7年振りにお邪魔しました。 フルバックからはしっかりと距離もあり良いコースです。メンテナンスもしっかりとされていました。もう少し安かったら良いのですが。

(Translated by Google) My favorite golf course in Hokkaido is Gozensui Golf Club! It has a classy course that is typical of Hokkaido. It's also convenient because it's close to the airport ✈️. 😊 (Original) 北海道では御前水ゴルフ倶楽部がお気に入り！ 北海道らしいコース、品があります。 空港✈️に近いのも、便利です。😊

(Translated by Google) This was my first time playing a round. It was a dignified, beautiful golf course. The caddies were very professional and I was pleased. I was also able to bring my cart onto the course, which was helpful as it was the last day of a three-day series. The course had just the right amount of ups and downs, bunkers, and ponds. It was a challenging course for me, but it was fun. I'd love to play another round. (Original) 今回初めてラウンドさせて頂きました 品格のあるいいゴルフ場で キャディさんもプロフェッショナルで 良かったです コース内へのカート乗り入れもできて 3日連続のラウンドの最終日だったので 助かりました 程よくアップダウン、バンカーや池があり 私には難しいコースでしたが楽しかったです また ラウンド⛳️させて頂きたいです

(Translated by Google) The food is also quite tasty. Although it's a bit challenging, carts can't enter the fairways, so the fairways are in pretty good condition. The golf course atmosphere is also great. I think it deserves to be included among the prestigious clubs in Hokkaido. As I landed, a family of deer greeted me... ^^ The natural environment seems nice. (Original) 음식도 나름 맛있고요. 무엇보다 조금 힘들지만, 카트가 페어웨이 진입이 안됩니다. 그래서 페어웨이 상태가 상당히 괜찮습니다. 골프장 분위기도 좋습니다. 북해도 명문크럽에 들어갈만 하다고 생각됩니다. 란딩하다보니, 사슴가족이 반기네요... ^^ 자연환경이 좋은것같습니다.

(Translated by Google) Go about 6km down the road opposite Ramen Daio on the national highway and it will suddenly be on your right. There is no big sign, so be careful not to miss it. The main attraction is the garden, but they also sell flowers, rose seedlings, miscellaneous goods, and run a cafe. It is a wild garden that combines native vegetation with an English garden. It becomes even wilder as it ages. The best time to see the roses is around early July. There are always some flowers in bloom, but other than roses, the garden is not overflowing with flowers, so it is designed to be enjoyed as a place to admire the delicate flowers. It's not very large, but it's nice to be able to relax (Original) 国道のラーメン大王の向いの道を6kmほど進むと突然右手に在ります。大きな看板がある訳では無いので見落とさないように。 ガーデンがメインですが、花や薔薇の苗木、雑貨などの販売、カフェなどもやってます。 在来の植生と英国式ガーデンが融合したワイルドなお庭です。経年変化でより野性味溢れてます。 薔薇の見頃は7月上旬あたりです。 何かしらの花は常に咲いておりますが、薔薇以外は花で溢れ返るような植栽では無いので、可憐な花々を愛でる造りです。 それ程広くはないですが、のんびり出来るところが良きかな

(Translated by Google) I visited in late July. The rose season, which began in June, had ended, and the next season is scheduled for late August. It was hot in Hokkaido, too, and the forest was quiet and deserted. I didn't take much precautions against insects, so I couldn't stay long, but I'd like to visit again, so I hope it stays there for a long time. It's quite a distance away, after turning off the bypass connecting Chitose and Tomakomai. The entrance is a little further back than the address I entered into the navigation system, but it was easy to find. (Original) 7月下旬に訪問しました。6月からのバラの季節は終わっており、次のシーズンは8月下旬とのこと。北海道も暑く、森はひとがいなくて静かでした。虫よけ対策もあまりしていなかったので長居はできませんでしたが、また訪れたいので長くそこにあってほしいと思います。千歳⇔苫小牧を結ぶバイパスから曲がって結構入ります。住所をナビで打ったところより入口はもう少し奥になりますがわかりやすかったです。

(Translated by Google) To be honest, I think the 800 yen admission ticket is a bit pricey. The surrounding forest itself is attractive, but the tour doesn't fully convey its beauty. I feel like it's aimed at people who are interested in gardening. (Original) 正直、入場チケット800円は割高なように思います。周辺の森自体は魅力的なのに、その良さが十分伝わってきません。ガーデニングなどに興味がある方向けのような気がします。

(Translated by Google) A lovely garden located relatively close to Chitose Airport. It's a place in the forest where you can really feel the nature. The attached cafe and shop are also very stylish, and the forest mushroom soup at the cafe was very delicious. The admission fee is 800 yen for adults, but if you want to visit the park again and again, we recommend purchasing a passport for 1,000 yen that allows you to visit the park as many times as you like during the season from April to October. (Original) 千歳空港からわりと近くにある素敵なガーデン。森の中にあって、とても自然を感じられる場所です。併設のカフェやショップもとてもおしゃれで、カフェの森のきのこのスープはとても美味しかったです。 入園料は大人の方は800円ですが、何度も訪れたい方には、４月から10月までの開園中の１シーズン何度も行けるパスポートが1000円ですので、そちらにされると良いと思います。

(Translated by Google) It's been a while since I last visited here. It's done. There's no trace of it's original appearance, it's become very nice. We were blessed with good weather, and it was a great place for a walk in the forest. It took just under an hour to go inside and walk around the whole area at a leisurely pace. (Original) ここも久しぶりの来園です。できた。当初の面影がなく、すごく素敵になっていました。天気にも恵まれて、森林浴の散歩としてはすごくいいところです。中に入ってのぐるりと一周するのにゆっくり回って1時間弱でした。

(Translated by Google) It felt like a cafe in nature. Lots of flowers and 2 goats. It was refreshing to see flowers on sale that I had never seen before! The crispy meat I ate at the cafe was delicious (I forgot the menu) It was a place where both children and dogs could relax and play on the lawn! (Original) 自然の中のカフェというかんじでした。 お花もたくさん、やぎが2匹。 お花はみたことないようなお花が売っていたりして新鮮でした！ カフェで食べたサクサクのお肉が美味しかったです(メニューど忘れ) 子供もワンちゃんも芝生で遊んでいたりとのんびりできそうな場所でした〜！

(Translated by Google) The roses, perennial plants and trees are beautiful, and the shady forest is just the right place to beat the heat. I had green curry, a summer menu item at the cafe. It doesn't contain coconut milk, and has a refreshing taste using herbs. (Original) バラと宿根草と樹木植栽が美しく、日陰の森は暑さを凌ぐのに丁度良い。カフェで食べた夏メニューのグリーンカレー。ココナッツミルクは入っておらず、ハーブを使ったサッパリ味。

Before taking the ferry to Oarai, we visited Lake Utonai Sanctuary. We had three hours to explore this place, which looked promising for birdwatching. The visitor center was great. It had a few huge binoculars and scopes pointed at the lake, books about local birds, a mini-exhibition, and various bird-related supplies for sale. The area and the protection of Lake Utonai are under the management of the Wild Bird Society of Japan. The lakeside path consists mostly of wooden walkways that branch off to visit different areas. At the end of one path, there was an excellent high wooden viewing hide, and we were the only ones there to use it. We climbed in absolute darkness and opened the thin windows to see the immensity of the lake. Excellent place to spend long minutes birdwatching! We could see many Taiga Bean-Geese, Whooper Swans, an Osprey, and even a White-tailed Eagle! There was only one thing that interrupted the tranquility of the place: at perfectly regular intervals, a deafening roar echoed throughout the wetland. Lake Utonai is 10 km from the New Chitose airport, and a plane landed there every two minutes. How does this affect all the wildlife?

If you’re looking for the shima enaga or other wildlife near Sapporo, this lake is the place! We wanted to see the shima enaga (long tailed tit/snow fairy) on our final day in Hokkaido. We were able to drop our bags at the Chitose airport and take the public bus to the lake (cash only, no IC card) and saw the shima enaga within minutes of arriving at the visitor’s building. There were also many many other birds and animals. The visitor centre here has free binoculars, great signage, maps in English, and even some big telescopes set up so you can view the eagles across the lake from inside. Very informative, cute gift shop, and looks like they do good conservation efforts for the Blakiston’s Fish Owl. Highly recommend this location. Note: visitor centre only open on weekends and specific holidays. If you are going from the airport to the lake by public transport, check the busses as they aren’t very frequent.

A tranquil walk through the mostly untouched forest rewards you with scenic views of the lake surrounded by tall grains. Did not manage to encounter any animals, but still an enjoyable unplug from Chitose city.

It's a really beautiful place for nature lovers..i did go in the winter and the lake was frozen is a different thing though 🤣

On the day we visited we could not observe any birds but it was still beautiful. This small lake and wetland area deserves a visit if you are in the chitose or Tomakomai area. The Sanctuary visitor center is only open on the weekends but that may be due to the pandemic.

The main wetland visitor park is a few hundred metres down the road and more family friendly. This place here is more for the informed birder that wants to be away from tourists.

Really good to see the lake and birds. However it is quite windy and chill outside. Better to prepare some jumper in these days.

(Translated by Google) I ordered the limited-time grilled kalbi rice and the regular soft serve ice cream for just under 2,500 yen. There were plenty of staff, the food was served quickly, and the portions were decent. The taste was also worth the price, so I was very satisfied. (Original) 期間限定のカルビ焼きライスとレギュラーメニューのソフトクリームを注文して2点で2500円弱だったかな。スタッフはたくさん居たし、提供も早く、ボリュームもまあまあ。味も値段なりで満足出来ました

(Translated by Google) After arriving at the airport, I had lunch at Northern Farm before heading to my destination, Otaru. I ordered hiyayakko, roast beef salad (with bread), and hamburger steak (with bread). Everything was delicious and relatively reasonably priced. I'd definitely like to visit again. (Original) 空港に着いて、目的地の小樽へ向かう前にノーザンファームでランチを頂いた。 ヒヤヤッコ、ローストビーフサラダ（パン付き）、ハンバーグ（パン付き）を注文。 どれも大変美味しく、比較的優しめな価格設定。 また是非訪れたい。

(Translated by Google) I went in at lunchtime during the summer holidays. Since it was a weekday, there was no wait and I was seated right away. I forgot the official name, but the hamburger steak was 2,300 yen. Plates like cutlets are similarly priced, and the soba noodles are "relatively" affordable at around 1,000-1,500 yen. The plate featured a fairly small hamburger steak and a lot of vegetables. I'm not a big fan of vegetables, but this one was fresh, clean, and topped with Caesar dressing, so I ate it all. The hamburger steak was a dense, well-kneaded chunk of meat, and it paired well with the almost acidic, rich, and mellow demi-glace sauce, making it very delicious. While the value for money is questionable, the taste is definitely impressive. Well, it's a theme park restaurant, and even a pork bowl at New Chitose Airport would cost around 2,000 yen. Given the circumstances, I'd go there regardless of value for money. (Original) 夏休み期間のお昼時に入店しました。平日もあってか待ちはなく、そのまま着席。 正式名称は忘れましたがハンバーグ2300円。カツレツなどのプレートは似たような値段で、お蕎麦に限れば1000〜1500円くらいで『比較的』お手軽です。 割とこじんまりしたハンバーグ本体に野菜がたくさんのプレートでした。野菜はあまり得意では無いのですが、新鮮で雑味がなく、シーザードレッシングがかかっておりバリバリ食べられました。 ハンバーグはしっかり密度のある練り上げられた肉塊で、酸味がほぼないマッタリと濃厚な味わいのデミグラスソースとマッチしとても美味しかったです。 量的なコスパは…やはり微妙ではありますが味は間違いないと思います。まあテーマパークの中の食堂ですし、新千歳空港で豚丼食べても2000円とかかかりますからね。シチュ的にもここで食べるのならできればコスパ度外視で行きたいですね。

(Translated by Google) As it was a Monday, the day after the Sapporo Memorial, it was a little busy and I had to wait about 20 minutes. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, but most of the dishes are in the 1,000-2,000 yen range, and they also have Japanese dishes like soba noodles, so I was a little worried. In the end, I had a Hokkaido pork and wagyu beef hamburger steak. It was delicious. (Original) 札幌記念があった次の日の月曜日だったので、少し混んでいて20分ほど待ちました。 素敵な雰囲気のレストランですが、料理は1,000〜2,000円台のものが多く、お蕎麦などの和もあり、悩まされました。 結果、北海道産の豚と和牛のハンバーグをいただきました。 美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) I used to think that theme park restaurants were just for filling your stomach, but this restaurant is absolutely delicious! 😋 The green curry, tonkatsu, and soba noodles are all incredibly tasty. The prices aren't too high, so if you're visiting Northern Horse Park, I highly recommend checking out their lunch! 🍽️ (Original) テーマパークのレストランは『お腹を満たすためのもの』と思っていたが、ここのレストランはめちゃくちゃ美味い😋 グリーンカレーもトンカツも、そばもめちゃくちゃ美味しい。 値段もそんなに高くないので、ノーザンホースパークにくるならここのランチもぜひ楽しみにしてもらいたい🍽️

(Translated by Google) I went there on Saturday. The wine was delicious and the food was also delicious. (Original) 土曜日の利用でした。ワインがとても美味しく、お料理も美味しく頂きました😃

(Translated by Google) We arrived late, but they were accommodating and didn't mind. The food was also delicious! The cold tofu was really good! (Original) 遅い時間の入場でしたが嫌な顔せず対応してくれました。料理もとても美味しく良かったです！ 冷奴がめちゃうまかったです！

Soup Curry is a food famous in Hokkaido, but Aji no Daio also offers one of the most famous Curry Ramen versions. And I just happened to be driving by the honten main store in Tomakomai, Hokkaido! I ordered one of their popular options, a Cheese Curry Ramen for 950¥. The smell of the curry was quite evident and the cheese looked absolutely mouth-watering.The noodles were soft and the portion very reasonable, every ramen bite carrying the curry flavor. The curry broth itself was not simply just “watered down” curry, as it had plenty of meaty, rich taste. Since the soup was so strong, the cheese was simply not necessary and couldn’t really be distinguished. Unless you’re a huge curry lover, though, I found myself halfway through the ramen wanting to cut the taste with some rice or some veggies to lighten it up. Still, it was worth having if you’re in town.

Aji-no-daio is a fun place for a bowl. It’s well-known as “the birthplace of curry ramen.” It’s worth visiting if you like those two things. The curry is quite a standard Japanese curry flavor profile, I recommend a spicy version if you want a bit more punch. It’s located between Chitose and Tomakomai and easily accessible from the airport by car. It can get busy over meal times, but it’s a large establishment and tables turn over quickly, so you won’t have to wait long. Side menu items are worth exploring also. There is the ubiquitous chashu-don, but for my money and if you want something a little different try out their gyoza dumplings. There are several varieties of gyoza, all explained in Japanese and English on the menu. I had Hokkaidō venison (deer). The wrappers of the dumpling are as made in-house as well, giving them a pleasing chewy texture not often not found in commercial varieties. This is not refined gourmand style ramen, but you will leave satisfied with honest home cooked feel.

Awesome ramen, very much a cafeteria feel though. This place draws people from across Japan. Youtube: @zach.bashir

Curry spicy ramen with paper cover to prevent spill over. First buy meal ticket and present it to the staff. Staff will provide small device with half ticket. After ready the device will buzz and self service.

Tried their gyoza for a quick break before heading to our hotel 1.5h away. Not too bad. Alot of ppl eating their ramen.

Came to here after landing since it is located nearby the airport. We order spicy miso ramyen, curry ramen, donkotsu ramyen and miso ramyen with kai kyoza. My family said it was the best local ramyenya where lical peoplpe are only seen and praised that they can not find better one than here.

Good ramen.
