THINGS TO DO

Whether nature or culture, Abashiri provides various enjoyments for visitors from outside Hokkaido.
Abashiri City lies in the midst of Abashiri Quasi-National Park. Thirty-five percent of the entire land is forest among which 50% is untouched forest. It has 4 lakes, one of which is registered with the Ramsar Convention.
The city has a history that goes back to 1812. The old paintings that were offered to the local shrine still exist in Abashiri Shrine. Abashiri is also the northern most place in Japan where lacquer tree is cultivated. Lacquer was brought into Abashiri by the pioneers of the Aizu clan in Edo era - and one of the old trees still exists.

THE STORY OF “FUKI”

This kamon (Japanese crest)-like logo depicts butterbur. When I first came to Hokkaido, the wild so-called fuki in Japanese was what caught my eyes! You’ll find the sprouts in early spring and the green plant throughout summer everywhere - from the wheat fields to concrete highways. There’s an Ainu legend that a dwarf (koro-bokkuru) lives under the gigantic fuki. Fuki is not just a seasonal delicacy that the locals savor. The salted fuki is an indispensible foodstuff in winter when green vegetables are hard to get. Fuki is a culture in itself. While you’re here, I hope you get the chance to see them yourself and also have the yummy experience – tempura sprouts and the stewed or fried stalks!

ABOUT MYSELF

Hi, I’m Junko. I own this Abashiri Hokkaido What-to-do Where-to-go site. I also give the tours. I used to work at an Embassy, a Wall Street company and also at an American licensing company in Tokyo. I came to Abashiri in 2009 to pursue my childhood dream of working at a dairy farm – which I finally did for nearly 10 years.

Brought up in New York and Singapore and with my wide range of business experiences, I hope I can be more than a “guide” to you – someone you can count on during your stay here! If you have any concerns or requests about the tours, please mail me at info@ahww.jp. I’ll try the most to answer to your requests!
