Asahikawa Kitasaito Garden
Connected to Asahikawa Station, Asahikawa Kitasaito Garden is placed in a rare location - in the middle of a city. Passing the west concourse of the station and reaching the “Shopping Park” in the city, you can appreciate the grand Chubetsu River and the rich nature in the northern land.
Cleverly integrated behind Asahikawa Station and along the Chubetsu River, this place creates a green urban oasis with a modern design that stretches toward the city center. It’s a great spot for Asahikawa residents to exercise or take a walk, and it also gives short-term visitors a place to relax.
In winter, it is turned into a ski park and offers a simple skiing experience. -

JR Asahikawa Station
The city of Asahikawa is located in the center of Hokkaido. The JR Asahikawa Station is central to the east-west and north-south rail system in Hokkaido.
The area around Asahikawa Station is really convenient for independent travelers. Whether you want to slow down and take your time or enjoy a deeper cultural experience, it also works well as a bus transfer point for places like Furano, Biei, and Daisetsuzan Sounkyo.
There are lots of hotels near Asahikawa Station, and there’s also a shopping mall right next to it. -

Calbee Jaga Pokkuru Okhotsk Sea Salt taste
Calbee Jaga Pokkuru is a popular snack produced by Calbee, one of Japan’s leading snack manufacturers. Manufactured at their Chitose factory in Hokkaido and primarily sold locally, it's become a beloved souvenir from Hokkaido. The name "Jaga Pokkuru" combines "jagaimo" (potato) with "Korpokkur," legendary fairy-like beings from Ainu folklore.
I found the Hokkaido Butter Fries, a duty-free exclusive flavor, at New Chitose Airport.
I’ve always loved their products. No matter the flavor, they’re hard to put down, and I just keep reaching for more. The small individual packs are especially convenient to take on the go and don’t take up much space. -
