It sits at an elevation of Approx. 295 m, and from inside the park you can take in sweeping views of downtown Asahikawa and the surrounding mountains.

Not many people, so it’s really comfortable to walk around.
On a nice day the views are pretty great. Perfect for a quiet stroll and just zoning out.
It’s not a lively, bustling spot, but it feels super relaxing and healing.

Lake Tanuki

Lake Tanuki spreads out in a corner of the Asagiri Plateau on the majestic western foot of Mt. Fuji in Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Located at an elevation of Approx. 650 m, it has a calm water surface with a circumference of 3.3 km. Because the lake is shallow and the winds are gentle, it is known as a famous spot for "upside-down Mt. Fuji," where Mt. Fuji is reflected on the lake surface, and for Approx. one week around April 20 and around August 20, you can also see Diamond Fuji.

When the weather is nice, you can see a stunning reflection of Mt. Fuji on the lake. It’s really soothing. The lake isn’t very big, so walking all the way around it at a relaxed pace isn’t too tiring. Great for a peaceful stroll and clearing your mind.

Early morning and around sunset are the most beautiful times, and there tend to be fewer people then.

Overall, it’s very quiet and natural. There aren’t many shops around—it’s just the kind of place where you enjoy the scenery and leave feeling better.

It’s a super relaxed place to walk around—no crowds at all. The animals are really close to the visitors, so kids will love it. The whole place feels kind of simple and a bit old-fashioned, but that actually gives it a nice local vibe. It’s perfect to stop by while taking a stroll around Katsurahama.

They recreated the old castle town style there. The wooden buildings and tile roofs really make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. It’s a great spot for photos with a lot of character.

As soon as you walk into Sunroad Shinshigai, you immediately get that feeling of everyday local life in Japan. It doesn’t feel like one of those places meant just for tourists.

Pretty interesting~ It mainly introduces Hachioji’s history, culture, and local traditional industries, like textiles, music, and festivals. The exhibition space isn’t big, but it’s thoughtfully put together. There are interactive displays, videos, and some hands-on areas, so you can take your time looking around. The atmosphere inside is really comfortable and doesn’t feel too formal or boring, so it’s great for anyone who wants to learn more about the local story. Overall, you can probably finish it in about 30–40 minutes, and there’s a shopping street right nearby, so after the museum you can easily grab something to eat or pick up some souvenirs~
