遊楽部, Historic district in Yakumo, Japan.

Yurakubu is an area in Hokkaido characterized by thermal springs that flow into rivers winding through rolling hills and forested terrain. The landscape reveals how hot water sources feed into the natural waterways and shape the overall geography of this rural region.

The area was established during the development of Yakumo town, with the Owari Tokugawa clan playing a role in its settlement. This period marked a time of regional expansion and development across Hokkaido.

The name comes from Ainu words meaning "river flowing from hot springs," reflecting how the landscape and its natural waters have shaped local identity. People visit to experience this connection between the thermal features and the surrounding terrain.

The area is accessible through Yurakubu Park, which provides parking and restroom facilities for visitors. This makes it easy to explore the surrounding landscape and natural springs at your own pace.

The Hakodate Racecourse features a special race named after this district, connecting sports with local heritage. This link shows how the area extends its influence beyond its natural landscape into regional culture.
