The Oirase Stream is home to about 300 different kinds of moss. You can enjoy a ‘moss walk’ with a loupe in hand.
A specialty food of the area is Tokachi Raclette Cheese Moor Wash, one of the few cheeses in the world created using hot spring water. The unique moor spring water aids in fermentation, drawing out the umami of the cheese. A thick drizzle of Tokachi raclette on locally produced vegetables is a sumptuous delight.
