Memuro (芽室町) is a picturesque agricultural town located inland within the Tokachi Subprefecture of Hokkaido, Japan. Its name is derived from the Ainu word "Memu-oro-pet" which means "river flowing from a spring".
For those planning to visit this picturesque
agricultural town to check what it has to offer, here are the 10 Things to Do
in Memuro:
 |
| Memuro manhole cover |
1. Take a picture of the manhole cover of Memuro.
So far, I have seen 1 unique manhole cover design, which is commonly found around the town.
 |
| Memuro Shrine |
2. Visit Memuro Shrine (芽室神社), the town's central
shrine, situated in its northern part of the town along National Route 38. You
can get a goshuin here for your collection.
 |
| Hagoromo-tei Memuro Branch |
3. Visit Hagoromo-tei Memuro Branch (回転ずし 羽衣亭 芽室店), a conveyor belt
sushi restaurant renowned as one of the best in the region. The prices are
budget-friendly, but it's a popular spot, so be prepared for potential wait
times.
Matsuhisaen
4. Dine at Matsuhisaen (松久園). This Taisho-era building is located in
the southern outskirts of the town. It is rarely crowded as it is far from the
town proper. The fried rainbow trout is a must-try. You might also want to have
the Tenku set meal.
Kareshoppuindean Memuroten
5. Enjoy a meal at Kareshoppuindean
Memuroten (インデアン 芽室店), a beloved
Japanese curry restaurant celebrated as a "Tokachi Soul Food"
destination with fans from across Japan. While it can get busy at times, the
Indian Curry and Katsukare are must-try dishes that make the visit worthwhile.
Tokachi Memuro Red Brick Warehouse
6. Explore the Tokachi Memuro Red Brick
Warehouse (十勝めむろ赤レンガ倉庫), a former
warehouse transformed into an art museum. The walls and ceiling showcase
colorful drawings by children aged 4 to 15 from around the world. Don’t miss
the Giant Potato Art Museum, which is open until the third week of September.
Memuro Park
7. Take a leisurely stroll and soak in the
fresh air at Memuro Park (芽室公園).
Despite its proximity to National Road 38, the cheerful chirping of birds often
drowns out the traffic noise. The park also features a play area and a
waterslide, making it a delightful spot for kids to enjoy.
Hometown History Museum Nenrin
8. Discover the history of Memuro at the Hometown History Museum Nenrin (ふるさと歴史館 ねんりん). Located on the southern outskirts of town, this museum offers a deep dive into Memuro's rich past. Though it's a bit far from the town proper, it’s a must-visit for history enthusiasts.
Shin Arashiyama Sky Park Observatory
9. Admire the view from the Shin Arashiyama Sky Park Observatory (新嵐山スカイパーク展望台). This place has an amazing panoramic view of the farmlands of Memuro. Aside from that, it does not have any admission fees.
Memuro Town Library
10. Explore the Memuro Town Library (芽室町図書館), renowned as one of the most beautiful libraries in Hokkaido. It boasts an extensive collection of books, though most are in Japanese, making it a haven for local literature enthusiasts.
I hope my list of the 10 Things to Do in Memuro gave you an idea and inspiration to visit this picturesque agricultural town in the Tokachi Subprefecture of Hokkaido.
