Accommodation and Dining

Dairy Restaurant Grassy Hill

Grassy Hill dairy restaurant on Ito Farm offers a wide variety of unique kinds of food and goods -fresh milk, yogurt drinks, original soft served ice cream, cupcakes, cow motif goods, and authentic feeding bottles for calves to name just a few.  This is a great rest spot when taking the Attoko footpath, and you can play with charming animals like ponies and goats.  Visitors can also take part in dairy farming activities.

Tick-Tack Camp Ground (Nemuro)

Tick-Tack Camp Ground is located on Tomioka Farm at the western starting point of one of Japan's longest footpath routes (40km total), that connects Attoko and Bettoga. Pitch a tent and enjoy a bonfire and BBQ, or bake pizza in a pizza oven and watch the slowly setting sun from the comfort of a drum can bath - a wonderful experience you will never forget.

At the "Agriculture and Farm Village Communication Center" on Tomioka Farm, you can get a better feel for the lifestyles of the settlers by watching movies from Nemuro's pioneering days.  You can also visit a rock quarry close to the farm that dates back to these times.

East Harbor Hotel (Nemuro)

The East Harbor Hotel is an 8 storey building situated in the city center, only a 7-min walk from Nemuro Station. Clear days offer guests expansive views of the Shiretoko Mountains and Kunashiri Island in the northern territories. Be sure to try the unique and exquisite flavors of Nemuro's bountiful seafood.  Esukaroppu, one of Nemuro's specialty dishes, is a must for visitors: esukaroppu, derived from the French "escalope", is a pork cutlet on top of buttered fried rice with demi-glace.
