Otofuke, Agricultural town in Tokachi Subprefecture, Japan.
Otofuke is a town situated in the middle of the Tokachi plain in Hokkaido, spanning flat agricultural land. The area borders the larger city of Obihiro and is defined by wide fields that form the main feature of the landscape.
The founding of Otofuke in April 1906 marked the start of organized farming in this part of Hokkaido. Official town status arrived in 1953, which shaped its development as an agricultural center.
The Tokachigawa thermal springs serve as a gathering place where residents meet throughout the seasons. These warm waters shape local social patterns and create moments for people to connect and spend time together.
The town has information centers and accommodations for visitors interested in exploring farming operations and thermal springs. Summer and autumn offer the best conditions for visiting, when fieldwork is visible and the weather is favorable for getting around.
The region experiences extreme temperature swings between summer and winter, which demands specialized growing methods for certain crops. These climate conditions have shaped Otofuke into a place where farming pushes against natural limits.
