Our stay was very restful (fresh air and quiet). Earlier that day, we could enjoy the amazing cultural songs of the oiwake in nearby Esashi and then relax at the hot springs at the accommodation.
A delicious breakfast was cooked by the friendly local staff.

Assabu is a charming and quiet town in southern Hokkaido, perfect for travelers looking to experience the slower, more authentic side of Japan. Surrounded by lush forests and farmland, it offers a peaceful retreat from the busier tourist spots.
While Assabu is small, it has a few unique and culturally rich spots that we visited:
1. Assabu Kyodo Shiryokan – A local history museum that gives insight into the town’s heritage.
2. Assabu Shinrin Tenjikan – A forest-themed museum showcasing the region’s natural environment.
Gallery Somabito – A quaint shop featuring local crafts and handmade goods.
3. Michi-no-Eki Assabu – A roadside station where you can find local produce, souvenirs, and snacks.
The town is also known for its connection to hinoki-asunaro (thujopsis) forests, which are rare this far north in Japan. The food here is simple, fresh, and made with local ingredients—perfect for those who appreciate home-style cooking.
