Hokkaido is now in the season of pleasant, refreshing breezes. Therefore, the editorial team of Hokkaido Jalan, who know Hokkaido inside and out, have picked out some lush, panoramic views that are unique to early summer! In addition to the four places introduced this time, the June 2025 issue of Hokkaido Jalan also features waterside views surrounded by soothing fresh greenery, fantastic seas of clouds, and beautiful evening and night views that will make you forget time. In addition, we will introduce information on lunches, hot springs, and direct sales shops that you can enjoy near the scenic spots, so please take a look. *All prices include tax 【Chitose City】Lake Shikotsu (Pier) A caldera lake with a circumference of about 40km and an average depth of 263m. It is characterized by a low level of plankton and high transparency, allowing you to enjoy the scenery reflecting the changing colors, sky, and mountain ranges. You can especially enjoy the beauty of the lake’s emerald green water in early summer when the sunlight is strong. At the Polopinai Company (formerly Lake Shikotsu Tourist Center), you can enjoy activities such as a pedal boat ride (1,500 yen for 30 minutes) on the lake and a fishing experience with a rental rod (800 yen for 1 hour).

Yotei (Ezo Fuji) that appear only in the rice fields in early summer are a spectacular sight. In Kutchan Town, a rice-producing area, you can enjoy this spectacular view only from late May when the rice paddies are filled with water, known as shirokaki, until the rice grows and the water surface is hidden. The reflection in the rice paddies is a sight unique to early summer, and in the Yahata area, the rice paddies are covered with water immediately after planting, reflecting Mt. Yotei, which still has snow on it. The nearest roadside station is about a 22-minute drive away. Asparagus is lined up in rows from May to June, but it is popular so we recommend buying it early.

While comparing the actual view with the photo from the observation deck, you can enjoy specialty coffee and other carefully selected drinks. The view of the snow-capped Tokachi mountain range and the green earth can only be seen in early summer in June, so try it out on a nice day. Also, about a nine-minute drive away is a charcuterie that has had its workshop there since 1988. The restaurant offers a selection of homemade products and a menu that makes extensive use of local Hokkaido ingredients, so we recommend stopping by there as well.

There are 13 windmills, each 155m high from the ground to the tip of the blades, set on a site of about 300 hectares. The sight of windmills turning while cows graze on the grass in the spacious ranch along the coast is rare, so it’s recommended to visit to refresh yourself. There is also a hot spring about 26 minutes away by car. The hot spring hotel attached to the roadside station has an open-air bath with a view of the Japanese garden, a jacuzzi, and a sauna, making it an attractive place to relax.
