Shinshinotsu Village in Ishikari District, whose name means "protruding chin," is the least populated region in Hokkaido. Bordering the Ishikari River, the entire region is a plain. As a result, the area focuses on paddy fields and actively cultivates rice and other crops. In winter, the area is hit by heavy snowfall. Tourist attractions include Shinshinotsu Onsen Iris and Shinshinotsu Park. At Shinshinotsu Park, you can enjoy smelt fishing from December onwards. Thanks to its blessed natural environment, you can enjoy scenery and food that changes with the seasons. Despite its small size, the area has continued to preserve its ancient traditions by working together.
