Farm Field Sauna and Snow Play in Memuro Town
Memuro Town in western Tokachi is home to Namara Tokachiya, a company comprised of 19 different farms. Besides producing and selling their own vegetables, they also hold various events and programs. In this tour, you will visit Namara Tokachiya to enjoy some fun in a snow-covered farm field. Ride a tractor-pulled wagon across the snow, sweat it up in an outdoor sauna, then enjoy a farm lunch with pizza and grilled food. It’s a unique way to experience the Hokkaido winter outdoors in a farm.
Highlights
- Ride on a wagon pulled by a tractor across a field of snow
- Play in the snow and work up a sweat in an outdoor sauna
- Cool yourself down in the snow while enjoying the winter scenery
- Make your own pizza and enjoy it for lunch with other dishes
First off, you will ride on a wagon pulled by a tractor called “Dosanko” (a word used to refer to someone or something born in Hokkaido). The tractor will take you across the vast snow field. If you have the courage, you can even try jumping from the wagon to dive into a fresh patch of powder snow.
After having fun in the snow, you can experience an outdoor sauna. Work up a sweat inside the charcoal-heated room while enjoying the view of the winter scenery outside.
After working up a sweat, cool your body down by laying yourself on the snow. You can also take a rest in a reclining chair while admiring the surrounding scenery – a truly liberating experience.
For lunch, you can try making your own pizza made with plenty of local vegetables.
You can also enjoy grilled skewers and other delicious dishes cooked in a skillet.
