Asahikawa should be one of the the most fortunate cities in Hokkaido. It is a comfortably sized city, completely surrounded by nature and located in the perfect position to act as the transport hub for all of Hokkaido. Despite the increasing number of tourists, there is a fundamental lack of valuable and trustworthy information about this area. Our mission is to provide a total information service related to Asahikawa and the surrounding areas to people all over the world.

 

What we do

Bring Asahikawa to the world
We have two full time bilingual (ENG/JPN and ENG/Polish) speakers at our tourism office ３jyo 7chome Okuno 5F to accommodate varying information needs. Our web site is constantly being redeveloped and added to and can be found in Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean.

Total Information

It is difficult to judge any place from typical tour-book comments or articles. We know for a fact that many articles written about Asahikawa and the Taisetsuzan National Park are done so without visiting the region as we are often invited to provide comments or photographs for such articles.  

We are locals. We live, work, and relax here allowing us to provide a host of useful and trustworthy information about Asahikawa and its surroundings in a single web site.

Site contents

The site interface is designed so as to allow users to quickly navigate their way to the information most suitable for them. The primary navigation menu is divided into main genres of interest; Hotels, Onsen, Restaurants, Bars, Winter, Summer, and Golf with educational cultural tips (what is “yakiniku”?,  “Onsen Etiquette”, what is a “nomihoudai”? ), providing an informative gel for the site as users navigate their way through it. In addition, we provide useful area information and Asahikawa Trivia.

Asahikawa Tourism Office

We are located on the 5th floor of Okuno. People are welcome to come visit us, browse through travel brochures, ask questions, or purchase 100% locally sourced crafts, postcards and calendars.
