OVERVIEW
Vast plains, the pioneering spirit, and lands of plenty set the stage for this journey into the rich abundance of Tokachi. Climb aboard a hot-air balloon and gaze down over the sprawling Tokachi Plain as you take in its staggering scale. On a working farm, you will harvest corn and relax over a picnic lunch in the open air, tasting the land’s bounty for yourself. Next, you will tour a dairy farm and make your own gelato, discovering a dairy tradition that stretches back to Tokachi’s pioneer days. Finally, you will sink into the soothing waters of Tokachigawa Onsen on a truly special journey that restores both body and soul.
