A city of about 170,000 people, Obihiro is a major city in agricultural
South-Central Hokkaido. Even
travelers with limited time and money can enjoy what this city has to offer, so
grab some friends, get a local guide, and start exploring!

1. Fast(est) Food | 9 p.m.
Inarizushi
in a conbini bento

If you are lucky,
crash on a local’s futon
and make a new friend.
Saturday

Winter Survival:
The most important workshop
you’ll ever attend.

4. A Lovely Lunch | Noon
When you go to Obihiro,
There is no question.
A bowl of butadon
Will be the lunch suggestion.
 |
| A good time to be only 95% vegetarian |
5. Equine Entertainment | 2 p.m.
Not only foreigners
find out about tourist spots
from reading manga.
 |
| But only foreigners take pictures with the characters... |
 |
| One sassy horse |
Grumpy old gambler,
nonplussed, explained how to place
one hundred yen bets.
 |
| 80¢ on Sakanotaihou. Living on the wild side! |
In spectator sports,
none is so slow yet trilling
as draft horse racing.
 |
| Go Sakano Go!!! |

6. Bag a Bargain | 4 p.m.
Home-Off, the proof that
buying discount goods is an
urban luxury.
7. Enjoy an Enkai | 6:30 p.m.
The Enkai Logic:
Who needs all-you-can-eat when
there’s all-you-can-drink?
On the road | midnight
Fragile snow flakes fall,
White specks against the dark
night.
Are these summer tires?
