2025 Obihiro Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#Japan Attractions #Hokkaido #Obihiro Shrine In addition to eating and shopping in Hokkaido, you must visit this Obihiro Shrine⛩️! It is very close to Obihiro Station and you will get there in about 10 minutes by changing to the bus at Obihiro Station. Because the border was not completely cleared when we came, only locals came to worship, so it was easier to walk and comfortable! 😌 When you go to the shrine, of course you have to worship, worship and worship again☺️ Another feature of Obihiro Shrine is that you can play with divine fortune 🤣 In order to collect stamps, we are all busy playing, we have forgotten to ask God for divination🤭

The Tokachi area is home to moor hot springs, a rare plant-based hot spring that is rare even in the world.

Hokkaido is known as a major producer of racehorses, and there are several racecourses within the prefecture. Among them, Obihiro Racecourse is where a unique type of horse race is held. While regular horse races use a track-shaped course, this one has a straight course with two humps. The horses that run on it are Ban'ei horses, which are different from thoroughbreds and pull sleds. The powerful race is enjoyable even just to watch. In winter, you can watch the heated races, especially as you can see the horses breathing along with the snow. #Snowscape #Obihiro #Ban'eiHorseRacing

This is Obihiro Shrine in Obihiro City, Tokachi, Hokkaido. At Obihiro Shrine, they sell long-tailed tit fortune slips, goshuincho (stamp books), votive plaques, and more, making it a recommended power spot for long-tailed tit fans.

I visited again after a few years. It's a popular restaurant, so I planned to avoid going during lunch hours to avoid the crowds, but I ended up waiting for an hour and a half. I was given a number and was told that it was OK to come back at roughly the same time, so I waited while killing time in other places, and about an hour had passed when it was my turn. I ordered lamb and mutton. The unique smell when it was being grilled, the texture when I bit into it, the dipping sauce, and the millet rice were all delicious!! The Genghis Khan was also soft!! It's completely different from the so-called thin, round Genghis Khan. It's become more expensive compared to a few decades ago, but I'd like to visit again. #0 yen travel #Genghis Khan specialty store #mutton #me and travel #Hokkaido trip #Tokachi gourmet #100 travel styles
