Mazekomi wakame

Just mixing this into warm rice balls makes it easy to make delicious wakame rice. It's essential when making rice balls and lunches. The flavor is tightly packed into the ingredients, so it will make the rice delicious even after it cools down. It is moderately sally, and it can be used as a seasoning on foods other than rice.

Wakame furikake is perfect with rice! Just sprinkle it over steaming white rice, and the aroma of the wakame comes out right away. Mix it in, and the rice becomes very flavorful.

It has a pleasantly salty, savory taste, with a light ocean flavor from the wakame and the aroma of the furikake. It tastes great with plain white rice and doesn’t need much additional seasoning. When you’re busy, just sprinkle some on to make a bowl of white rice more flavorful!
Noboribetsu Bear Park

Located at an altitude of 550 meters on the summit of Shihorei Mountain, Noboribetsu Bear Park is accessible via a 7-minute ropeway ride from the foothill station in Noboribetsu Onsen Town. Over 60 lively brown bears reside here.

You can see the brown bears up close at the park. Watching these large, powerful bears moving around is truly impressive. The most interesting part is feeding time. As soon as the bears see food, they come right over, and their quick, adorable movements make it hard to look away!

It was my first time seeing brown bears from such a close distance, and it felt very special! Hokkaido has not only beautiful natural scenery but also fun experiences like this, so it’s a great addition to a Noboribetsu itinerary.
Lake Toyako Long Run Fireworks Display

The Lake Toyako Long Run Fireworks Display began in 1982 as a way to attract tourists back to the area after the 1977 eruption of Mount Usu. Held at Toyako Onsen, this spectacular event runs for six months each year, from late April to the end of October. Every night at 8:45pm, around 450 fireworks illuminate the sky for approximately 20 minutes, their vibrant, colorful reflections bounding over the lake’s surface in a mesmerizing display.

At Lake Toya in Hokkaido, we happened to catch the Lake Toyako Long Run Fireworks Display. The atmosphere by the lake at night was especially romantic, with fireworks bursting over the lake and reflecting on the water. It was truly beautiful!

Enjoying the fireworks while feeling the evening breeze off the lake was very relaxing. Fireworks rose into the sky one after another, adding a lively touch to the usually tranquil scenery of Lake Toya!
