Kamishihoro

Kamishihoro is a town in the Tokachi region that spans both flat farmland and mountainous terrain. The southern area sits on the Tokachi Plain, while the northern section transitions into the Daisetsu mountains.

The town was officially established on April 1, 1931, as part of the planned development of the Tokachi region in Hokkaido. This founding allowed settlement and development of previously remote areas.

The town sits between lowland farming areas and mountain regions, and this geography shapes how locals live and what they produce throughout the year.

Visitors can reach the town by bus from nearby cities, with regular connections available throughout the day. The best time to explore is during autumn and winter when roads are clear and visibility is good.

A submerged bridge structure emerges from Lake Nukabira during autumn and winter months, revealing its complete arch when water levels drop. This seasonal phenomenon surprises many visitors who discover this hidden ruin.
