Obihiro
Obihiro is a practical Tokachi base with gardens, local pork rice bowls and an unusual draft-horse racing tradition. It suits travelers who want a city stop between larger eastern Hokkaido landscapes.
Obihiro’s banei racing uses powerful draft horses rather than the fast flat racing many visitors expect. Combine a racecourse visit, when racing is scheduled, with a Tokachi garden and a local pork rice bowl to make the city more than an overnight transit point.
What to look for
Banei racing at Obihiro Racetrack features draft horses.
Tokachi’s gardens bring cultivated landscapes into the city visit.
Pork rice bowls are a local food association.
Useful to know
Check the racetrack calendar before making banei racing the centre of the visit.
Choose one garden and a food stop rather than trying to cover the wider Tokachi area in a short city visit.
