北海道7日間の旅②網走・旭川・赤平の歴史や食を紹介（旅18～19日目）【散策動画】

This is the second part of our 7-day trip to Hokkaido.This time we will introduce Abashiri and Asahikawa Akabira.On the 4th day of the trip, we will sightsee in Abashiri.We will take a train after 6:30 and will take 3 hours to Abashiri Station.On the way A sulfur mountain called Atosanupuri can be seen

Near Kawayu Onsen Station between Lake Kussharo and Lake Mashu. During the Meiji period, sulfur extracted from this mountain was transported by railway and Kushiro prospered, but sulfur was used as a raw material for matches and gunpowder. The sulfur was then sold overseas, so

Mining became an important means of earning foreign currency through export.In Atosanupuri, convicts mined sulfur.The mining process was harsh and involved spewing steam and gas powder. Some people lost their eyesight and others died from poisoning.Now we arrive at Abashiri Station.Abashiri is located in the northeastern part of Hokkaido, facing the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, and

Is known as a place where drift ice comes close to the shore.Fresh seafood. It is a town blessed with a thriving fishing industry and is known for its exquisite crabs, salmon roe, and scallops. Speaking of Abashiri, Abashiri Prison is famous, so I decided to go there. I

Thought there was a bus, but there wasn’t one, so I walked for 50 minutes. I arrived at Abashiri Prison.It is an open-air history museum with the theme of Hokkaido development and prison inmates.Go inside and enter the government building.Before

Touring the museum, first go to the government building, where you can see the history of Hokkaido development carved out by prisoners and the important cultural properties. It is a good idea to watch the introduction and grasp the key points of appreciation.The development of Hokkaido, which was an undeveloped land, proceeded in three stages:

Prison development, tonden soldier development, and immigrant development . Prisoners served as vanguards, opening roads where there were no roads, building houses where there were no homes, and turning the primeval forest into agricultural land.After that, tundenhei and settlers lived in and developed the land.Prison development led to tondenhye development and immigrant development. Shujikan was

A large-scale prison, and in 1881, Kabato Shujikan was established in Hokkaido, and later in Sorachi and Kushiro. Prisons called Prisoners’ Offices were established in Abashiri and Obihiro as branch offices of the Kushiro Jujikan.Here are three highlights of Abashiri Prison that I learned about from the panel.The first is brick and soft stone.The

Latter half of the Meiji period . A brick factory was built on the site, and the bricks were burned, and the main gate, back gate, and silo were built with bricks and soft stone.The fact that the prisoners burned bricks and built the buildings shows that the prison was managed in a self-sufficient manner.

The second is a building that is a fusion of Japanese and Western styles.The windows on the roof convey a Western atmosphere, but Japanese elements can be seen in the onigawara and tiled roofs . The third cell is a radial cell, which

Imitates a Belgian prison so that a small number of people can manage a large number of prisoners.It is rational and functional, with an octagonal central guardhouse that allows you to see the whole thing from one point . Although it is a traditional style, it has a spatial beauty.For lunch, we had prison food.It

Is a set meal that reproduces the meal that inmates eat at the current Abashiri Prison.Barley rice with a ratio of barley and white rice of 3:7. Grilled saury or Atka mackerel, small plate, medium plate, miso soup.Originally, bancha was served instead of miso soup.During my

Trip to Hokkaido, I had many opportunities to eat ramen, and my nutrition tended to be unbalanced, so I was grateful for such a simple and healthy meal. In any case , it would have been difficult just to clear

A path in such a place using manual labor at the time, but in the exhibition it was said that construction work was carried out at a speed of 12km in one month through an even denser wilderness.This is insane. Increasingly

Large numbers of mosquitoes and flies attacked day and night, food was scarce, and sanitary conditions were poor. Prisoners were forced to work, and if they ran away they were attacked by bears, and in the winter there was no food in the mountains, so they were forced to work,

And in a short period of time many prisoners were killed. He fell ill and died again.This was done because there was a threat from Russia moving south, and because Hokkaido had abundant natural resources necessary for modernization.In terms of human rights, the prisoners The development of Hokkaido was later stopped, but

It continued with tacit approval in the form of octopus labor.After seeing Abashiri Prison, we took a bus to the Hokkaido Museum of Northern Peoples.This is the only northern ethnic group in Japan. It is a museum that specializes in introducing culture.It exhibits and explains

The clothing, food, shelter, livelihood, spiritual culture, etc. of the northern peoples by theme.The permanent exhibition explains the culture of the various peoples of the northern region, but the range extends from Greenland to the east.

It’s so vast that I don’t fully understand it, stretching from the Inuit Eskimos to Sami Rup in Scandinavia to the west.I didn’t have the energy to go see it, but the Okhotsk Drift Ice Museum is nearby.I can’t say that Abashiri Prison and the Museum of Northern Peoples are easily accessible. There

Were plenty of exhibits.Now , at 4 o’clock, I took the bus and went back to Abashiri Station. From Abashiri Station, I took the limited express Okhotsk No. 4 and headed to Asahikawa Station. The ride took 3 hours and 50 minutes.

On the way, I saw the Tsunemon Tunnel, which was built in the 1920s. There is a tunnel that was opened in 1914 by octopus labor , but at night it is difficult to see where it is.We would like to inform our customers that there are wild animals running on the tracks, so

We are slowing down and have to brake suddenly. We may have to stop, so please be careful when using the train . We have had a collision with a deer. We are currently checking the vehicle. Please wait for a moment before the train departs. We have

Confirmed that the deer is not on the tracks and there are no problems. We are currently inspecting the vehicle.Please wait a little longer until the train departs.I was getting tired towards the end of the trip, so I wanted to get back to the hotel early,

But I came into contact with a deer and had to remove it for an hour. There was a delay soon.I was okay with the delay because I was staying at a hotel at the last station, but I wouldn’t have been bothered if I had to change trains.This

Kind of thing is to be expected on a trip to Hokkaido . I learned that it is necessary to remove deer.It takes a short time to remove a deer, but it seems to take a long time to remove a bear.In

The event of a collision with a bear, to ensure safety, do not get out of the vehicle but check the local situation from inside the vehicle and drive. It looks like it will be reopened, but there is a risk that there are fellow bears nearby, so we

Will arrange for a hunter to retrieve the bear.We then arrived at Asahikawa Station and checked into Kuretake Inn Asahikawa.The accommodation fee was 3800 yen, which is reasonable for a Saturday. It was a cheap stay.On the fifth day, we headed from Asahikawa to Akahira.Before that, I would like to briefly introduce Asahikawa.Asahikawa

Is the second largest city in Hokkaido, located almost in the center of Hokkaido.Railways and roads run north, south, east and west, and there is also an airport. It is a town with a well-developed transportation network and full of urban functions such as medical care, welfare education, etc.

Commerce and industry are developing, agriculture is thriving, and as it is a distribution base in northern Hokkaido, it is blessed with abundant marine products . Although its low temperature is attractive, it is also one of the cities in Japan with the largest year-round temperature difference in a basin surrounded by

Mountains with no sea around.Now, I will head to Akabira.I will catch the train before 6:30. We arrived at Akabira Station before 8am and the ride took 1 hour and 20 minutes.There is a facility in Akabira where you can tour a coal mine, so we decided to take part in it.As I

Was researching the history of Hokkaido’s development, I learned that coal played a large role, which made me interested. However, it is difficult to access facilities related to coal mines on a train trip.There are many places that cannot be accessed without a car as there are no frequent trains or buses, but Akabira is

Easily accessible by train.Moreover, you can go on a guided tour of the coal mine, so I went there. I arrived at Akabira before 8 o’clock, but since the tour facilities start at 9 o’clock and I have time, I will take a look at the nearby coal-related places.

Akabira once prospered as a coal mining town during the Showa era. When coal was mined in 1919, people gradually gathered and a town was formed. In 1927, the population exceeded 10,000 people, and reached the peak of prosperity around 1950. In 1960, the population peaked at 59,430 people.

After that, when coal was replaced by oil, it was forced into decline, and in 2019, 2019. The population fell below 10,000 people in 2013.About a 30-minute walk from the station is the Sorachi River Outcrop Coal Seam Observation Plaza.We were told that we could see the exposed coal seam here, but

Unfortunately it was too far away to see clearly. After that , I learned that this is a place where bears can be found.Also , near Akabira Station, there is the Hokutan Akama Coal Mine Zuri Mountain.Zuri refers to unnecessary rocks produced during coal mining and waste stones produced during coal preparation.

It is the result of many years of collecting it.It is 197.65m high and there is an observation plaza at the top, but due to the time of the year, I was not able to climb it.As the time came, I headed to the mine tour facility.The former Sumitomo mining facility. The

Term “charcoal iron port” refers to the coal of Sorachi, the steel of Muroran, the port of Otaru, and the railway that connected them, which became the foundation of Hokkaido’s modern era.The port of charcoal iron has been certified as a Japanese heritage site. The facility to

Visit is called the Akabira City Coal Mine Heritage Guidance Facility. Inside, there are exhibits about coal and Akabira, and guidance begins at 10 a.m. During this tour, you can listen to stories from people who actually worked in the coal mines, and it lasts for 90 minutes. That’s why I participated.It

‘s free to see the exhibits at the facility, but 800 yen for a guided tour.The exhibits were interesting, but the guidance was valuable.During the guidance, I was able to take photos.I learned about coal and mine work. I was able to hear about a

Lot of things about what Akabira was like in the Showa era, and the story was about how to spend time in Akabira, so it felt very familiar. Also, the story about working in a mine was based on actual experience, so it felt real . I was also able to hear valuable stories

About mining accidents and large machinery that only people who were involved in the work would know . It’s not often that you get the chance to listen to a story for 90 minutes, so I highly recommend this facility. There are still large reserves of coal in Hokkaido, but mining costs

Are high, so cheap coal is imported from overseas.Coal is used in industries such as power generation, steel manufacturing, cement, and paper manufacturing, but it is the same everywhere . An attempt is being made to extract hydrogen from imported coal, and

If this can be achieved without incurring any costs, Hokkaido coal, including those from Yubari, could attract attention in the future.I found this story very interesting, so I decided to visit. April 10, 2022 was the day when the number of tour visitors exceeded 10,000. After

Spending a meaningful time at the Akabira City Coal Mine Heritage Guidance Facility, we will return to Asahikawa. There are few trains at Akabira Station, so we will take the bus. I was supposed to go from Akabira Station to Takikawa Station and then take

The train from Takikawa Station back to Asahikawa Station.However , I got on the wrong bus.When I got on the bus bound for Takikawa Station, I ended up taking a different bus with a detour even though the destination was the same . The regular bus that I

Used never departed earlier than the schedule and was a few minutes late , but since it arrived about a minute early, I

Thought it would be a bit of a wait until I got on the train because it was a station, but it left immediately and I thought it was strange, but then I took another bus. When the bus bound for Takikawa Station arrived, I realized that I had made the wrong one.I

Immediately got off and ran back to the station, but unlike city buses, I couldn’t make it to one of the stops for a long time.On this day, I decided to plan my trip to visit a coal mine. I was thinking of

Just relaxing at the hotel and having a rest day, but…I ended up doing it.The next bus wasn’t coming until two hours later, so I decided to walk to the station because it was too cold to wait at the station . Akahira Shrine was located 10 minutes walk from the shrine.This

Shrine was built by the people of Ishikawa Prefecture who immigrated to Hokkaido so that the country would prosper, the village would be happy, and they could unite and carry out their original intentions.These discoveries make it a great place to travel. It’s fun to walk around, but after

The trip, I learned that it was a place where it wouldn’t be strange to see a bear.Route 227, which connects Akabira and Takigawa, is a place where there are several reports of brown bear sightings a year. The year I traveled in

2022 was a year when there were few sightings of brown bears, but two years ago it was a place where brown bears were seen.Also , there were quite a few sightings around the Sorachi River Outcrop Coal Seam Observation Square a year ago.

It was not a place to walk to.When I got tired of walking, a bus caught up with me near Takikawa Station, so I took it to the station and took the train to Asahikawa Station.Then I returned to Asahikawa Station and ate Asahikawa Ramen.Asahikawa Ramen Asahikawa Ramen is known for its soy sauce ramen.Asahikawa

‘s soy sauce ramen is known as one of Hokkaido’s top three ramen, along with Sapporo’s miso ramen and Hakodate’s salt ramen. Asahikawa Ramen is characterized by a soup that is a blend of seafood soup, pork bone, and chicken stock.In the

Past, pig farming was popular, and pork bones were used in the soup to remove the characteristic odor, such as dried sardines, kelp, and bonito flakes. It is said that the use of seafood has started to be used in combination with seafood.Depending

On the restaurant, ramen with a lot of lard or rich miso ramen is also served.Asahikawa is also famous for hormones, and ramen topped with hormones is also popular . On the day I checked in at Hotel Wing International Asahikawa Ekimae, which also has a breakfast buffet.I will continue next time.Next

Time, I will introduce Wakkanai and Otaru.
