Kamisunagawa Town in Sorachi County once supported Japan's economy thanks in part to the thriving Kamisunagawa coalfield. Geographically, it is located where the Sunagawa and Ishikari Rivers meet. In the past, the Hakodate Main Line passed through here, but it is now abandoned. This area is also famous for being the model for the TV drama "From the North Country." With heavy snowfall in winter, Kamisunagawa Town in Sorachi County attracts tourists from all over the country for skiing. The town's well-equipped hot spring facilities have also helped it develop as a tourist destination. At Kamisunagawadake Onsen Panke no Yu, you can warm your body in the hot springs, which have 17 beneficial effects, including skin-beautifying properties.
