所在地：北海道札幌市

更なるダイバーシティ北海道を目指し「多様性に富み、活力ある暮らし創出」するため地域の魅力を独自な目線で紹介します。

After collecting the information, we posted with the slogan “introduce with my words” but since Corona’s influene, it was difficult to go out, we decided to make a temporary replacement change the purpose and change the subject to “Where do you want to go after Corona ?”. If anything, without a topic, we think we’ll do our best to write based on the SDGs.

Jewelry ice @Toyokoro Town #case moka “(specific policies to combat climate change)

The town of Toyokoro is about an hour’s drive from Obihiro, and it looks like the development of the Tokachi region started around the town of Toyokoro (there are various theories).

To show the grandeur of Hokkaido, there is the Tokachi River flowing through the town, two lakes on the Pacific side and a hill overlooking when first reclaimed.

Introduction to “The Sights of Hokkaido”. Tthere are fireworks festivals or camping in summer, along with festivals in spring and autumn, this is also a place where you can enjoy seafood fresh.

And on the beaches in winter, you can see the clear ice called “Jewelry ice” which looks like crystal, visible only for a limited time during the harsh winter.

The ice covering the Tokachi River floats into the Pacific Ocean, is swept into different shapes by waves and after being washed ashore, it will have different colors depending on the light of the sun. After Corona is over, I want to go see the jewelry ice created by the natural environment !!!

One of the important things is that it is essential to protect the environment where you can see these jewelry ice forever. And the best time to go see jewelry ice is from mid-January to late February.
