Have you ever heard of Hamatonbetsu? It is a town located in the north of Hokkaido. Hamatonbetsu is rich with nature. Many kinds of wild animals can be seen throughout a year. And a primary industry is popular. I’ll introduce the charms of Hamatonbetsu.
There is a lake called Kuccharoko in Hamatonbetsu. Kuccharoko is designated by the Ramsar Convention as swamp reservation for waterfowl. The lake is an important place for waterfowl. Various migratory birds such as swans come to the lake in autumn and spring every year. The lake is also important as the center of the sightseeing industry. A festival related to the lake is held annually. Many people can get in touch with nature through this festival. At the same time, this is a chance to let tourists participating in the festival learn about its specialties. Dairy farming and fishing are popular in Hamatonbetsu. So milk products and scallops are the main specialty. Each and every specialty is very delicious. You can’t help eating them again and again when you eat them once. Also, there is a camping site near the lake. In summer, you can enjoy entering the lake, having a BBQ, rowing a canoe …etc. When you feel tired, you can take in a hot spring or a footbath. If you want to stay near the lake and aren’t going to camp, you can stay at cottages. But there are only four different types of cottages and they are very popular. So I recommend you to make a reservation earlier.
There are more places where you can enjoy nature. Why don’t you check with your own eyes？
