Shintoku

Tucked between the foothills of the Daisetsuzan mountains and the Tokachi Plain, Shintoku is a place whose character is shaped by central Hokkaido’s cool inland climate and productive farmland. The town stands by the upper Tokachi River, where wooded slopes begin to replace the broad fields of the plain. Buckwheat is among Shintoku’s best-known local products, and Shintoku soba has an established place in its food culture. Karikachi Pass, on the route west towards Furano, marks a long-used crossing between Tokachi and Hokkaido’s interior.
