Tomakomai is Hokkaido's representative industrial and port city, but it is also a treasure house of delicious foodstuffs. Hokki accounts for 10% of the nation's total catch and is a specialty of Tomakomai. In the morning, you will taste the famous "hokki curry" filled with fresh hokki. After filling up their stomachs, the group will try canoeing at the foot of Mount Tarumae to enjoy the great outdoors. Tomakomai is also famous for its skating rink. While being taught by ice hockey players, we glamorously ...... fall down on the ice! Hungry from all the exercise, the two enjoyed the classic beef stew and meat croquettes at Daiichi Western Restaurant, which has been preserving the taste of Western cuisine for 90 years. In the evening, we visited a restaurant specializing in grilled fish that is popular among the locals. Fresh fish caught off the coast of Tomakomai is prepared in a unique way and served as a flavorful delicacy.
