(Translated by Google) Visited in October 2021. An artificial lake located in the mountains of Mikasa City that appeared after the completion of Katsurazawa Dam. We enjoyed the beautiful autumn leaves from Route 452. (Original) 2021年10月来訪。三笠市の山中に位置する、桂沢ダムの完成によって出現した人造湖。国道452号から美しい紅葉を満喫しました。

(Translated by Google) The trees around the lake were beautiful with their autumn leaves changing. It's very quiet and relaxing. (Original) 湖の周りの木は、紅葉が進んでとても綺麗でした。 とても静かで落ち着きます。

(Translated by Google) If you search for Lake Katsurazawa, you will get some results, but I would like to comment on the recent situation here. A few years ago, National Route 452 was bypassed from the Yubari City side to the Katsurazawa Lake area, about a few kilometers from Lake Katsurazawa? However, from around fall of this year, quite large-scale construction work has begun, and the national highway is quite long, with traffic always alternating on one side, and it seems that completion is nearing. Work is being done on the shores of the lake around Katsurazawa Ohashi Bridge and Katsura Ryukyo Bridge on National Route 452, and it feels like the atmosphere is going to change quite a bit. I don't know if there is any construction going on at Katsurazawa Dam, but maybe it's because of construction, but the water level of the dam lake has decreased considerably compared to before, and it's more like a river than a lake (^_^;) Is Lake Katsurazawa now much different from the previous Lake Katsurazawa? (´・ω・`) (Original) 桂沢湖で検索すると検索結果がいくつか出てきますが、こちらには最近の状況をコメントしたいと思います。 数年前から桂沢湖より数キロ程度夕張市側から桂沢湖周辺にかけて国道452号線バイパス?の工事を行ってましたが、今年の秋頃からかなり大掛かりな工事に入り、国道はかなり長い区間で常に片側交互通行の状況で、完成も間近になって来てる感じで、桂沢湖に架かる国道452号の桂沢大橋と桂竜橋周辺では湖畔を護岸工事の様な事も行っており、だいぶ雰囲気が変わりそうな感じがしますね。 桂沢ダムの方は工事してるのかわかりませんが工事の関係でなのか、ダム湖の水位が以前よりかなり減っていて湖というより川になってますね (^_^;) 今現在では以前の桂沢湖とはだいぶ違っていますかね?(´・ω・`)

(Translated by Google) A rest area by the shores of Lake Sakura, where we stopped briefly on the way from Sapporo to Furano. Until a few years ago, Katsuzawa Rest House was operated as a park where people could eat and drink tea and hold various events, but for some reason it is not currently in operation, but it was enough to enjoy a rest in a quiet atmosphere on the bench by the lake. Isn't resting in a space with no one truly resting? However, you may meet your favorite 'red fox', so prepare your mind before going. We were unprepared and were so shocked that we took a step back and barely got into the car and ran away...^^ (Original) 삿포로에서 후라노로 가는 길에 잠시 들렀던 桂沢 호수변에 있는 휴게소. 카츠자와레스토하우스는 몇년 전까지는 식사와 차를 마실 수도 있고 여려 행사를 치뤘던 공원으로 운영되었으나 지금은 어떤 이유에서인지 운영되지 않는 곳이었는데 호수변의 벤치에서 고즈넉한 분위기에서 쉼을 즐길 수 있기에 충분했다. 아무도 없는 공간에서의 휴식이 진정한 휴식이 아닐런지... 다만, 터줏대감 '붉은 여우'를 만날 수 있으니 미리 마음의 준비를 하시고 가시길. 준비안된 우리는 너무 놀라 뒷걸음질치면서 간신히 차에 올라 줄행랑을 쳤기에...^^

(Translated by Google) It was a modest building on top of a beautiful small hill. I think it's a wine that doesn't have a lot of circulation, but there were so many varieties and inventory here that I couldn't decide. I can't taste it, but the white I bought had a clear and beautiful taste with a mineral feel that showed the carefulness of the maker. (Original) 綺麗な小高い丘の上にある瀟酒な建物でした。 なかなか流通数の少ないワインだと思いますが、ここには目移りするほどの種類と在庫がありました。 試飲はできませんが、購入した白は作り手の丁寧さが現れたような、ミネラル感のある澄んだ美しい味わいでした。

(Translated by Google) I came here to purchase wine that is sold exclusively at the store. If you are coming from Sapporo, get off the Hokkaido Expressway, turn twice at the traffic lights, and then turn again at the intersection to arrive. There were cherry blossom trees along the way, and the pink against the fresh greenery was beautiful. The store is simply stocked with wine on shelves and there is a counter where you can write the shipping slip. There was a nice postcard there. I wrote a message on a postcard, attached it to a glass of wine, and had a friend send it to me. Payment is by cash only. I accidentally didn't have much money in my wallet, so I dropped it off at the 7-Eleven ATM just past the second traffic light. (Original) 店舗限定販売のワイン購入目的でうかがいました。 札幌方面からだと、道央道を降りて信号を2回曲がって、交差点をもう一度曲がると到着。 途中に桜並木があり、新緑にピンクが映えて、綺麗でした。 お店はシンプルにワインが棚に並んで、発送用の伝票を書くカウンターがあるだけ。 素敵な絵葉書が置いてありました。 ハガキにメッセージを書いて、ワインに添えて、知人に送ってもらいました。 支払いは現金のみです。 うっかり財布にあまり入っていなかったので、2つ目の信号を少し過ぎたセブンイレブンのATMでおろして行きました。

(Translated by Google) This is a long-established winery that only sells on Saturdays and Sundays. Therefore, the hurdle was high, but I managed to visit on Sunday. I was able to purchase Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Zwei. The vineyards are well-maintained and the winery looks clean and well-managed, which is what I expected. (Original) 土日しか販売をやっていない老舗のワイナリーです。そのためハードルが高いですが、何とか日曜日に訪問。シャルドネとピノ・ノワール、ピノ・グリとツヴァイを購入できました。ブドウ畑が整備されていてワイナリーも綺麗で管理されている感じがして期待されます。

(Translated by Google) It is a relatively large winery and has a wide range of shops. During the tasting, three types of white and three red varieties are placed on the table, and customers are free to try them as they like, which is quite generous. From the shop that stands on the hill, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the city beyond the vineyard hill, and enjoy the scenery and wine to your heart's content. There is a wide variety of wines available, so you can take your time to sample and choose your favorite wine to take home with you. There are a wide variety of grapes, and the taste is also rich, so I feel that they are making solid wine. However, when it comes to rich flavors, plenty of tastings, and magnificent scenery that is typical of Hokkaido, buyers will want it all. . . (Original) 比較的規模が大きなワイナリーで、ショップも充実していています。試飲は白と赤3種類ずつがテーブルに置かれ、お客さんが自由に試せるようになっているのは、なかなか太っ腹です。丘の上に立つショップからは、ブドウ畑の丘の向こうに街並みを望む雄大な景色が広がり、景色とワインが心ゆくまで楽しめます。 ワインの種類も豊富なので、試飲でじっくりと好みのワインを選んで自分にとって一番の味を持ち帰ることができます。ブドウの品種が豊富で、これに応じて味わいも豊富なのは、しっかりとしたワイン作りがされていると感じます。とはいえ、味わい豊富、試飲豊富、北海道らしい雄大な景色とくれば、あれもこれも欲しくなってしまって買い手泣かせです。。。

(Translated by Google) It seems like it's only open on weekends. There was only wine in the store, no miscellaneous goods. I couldn't go to the basement, but I could go to the second floor, but there was nothing special. The grounds are large and the size of the field is overwhelming. The staff were friendly and kind. The wine that can only be purchased here was sold out, which was a shame. The atmosphere was nice and I was surprised to find such a place. I would like Sorachi Winery to be more exciting. (Original) 週末だけオープンしている様です。店内にはワインのみで、雑貨などは何もありませんでした。地下には行けず、二階には行けましたが、特に何もありませんでした。敷地が広く、畑の広さは圧巻です。スタッフさんは、にこやかで親切な対応でした。こちらでしか買えないワインは売り切れで、残念でした。雰囲気は良くこんな場所があったんだなと思いました。空知ワイナリーを盛り上げて欲しいですね。

(Translated by Google) Apparently it's only sold on Saturdays and Sundays, but I was lucky enough to be able to visit it. I also visited the fields, and they were well-managed and truly impressive. You can make delicious wine. My friend from Hokkaido sent it to me, so I think I've tried the entire lineup, and the Chardonnay was especially delicious. (Original) 土日にしか販売していないようですが、幸運にも伺うことができました。畑も拝見しましたが、管理が行き届いていて実に見事。美味しいワインができるわけです。 北海道の友人が送ってくれるのでラインナップはひと通り飲んでいると思いますが、特にシャルドネが美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) I don't know anything about wine, but it was really nice. I couldn't sample it due to the coronavirus, so all I could do was look around the shop, but I bought a few bottles of wine as souvenirs and went home. Apparently, this winery has been certified as a 5-star winery in the Japan Winery Awards 2021. There were only two locations in Hokkaido, including this one. I want to come again after the coronavirus is over. (Original) ワインのことはわからないけど、とにかく素敵だった、、コロナ中で試飲ができずただショップを眺めるしかなかったけど、お土産にワインを数本買って帰りました。どうやらここは日本ワイナリーアワード2021で5つ星認定されたワイナリーらしい。北海道ではここを含めた2箇所だけでした。 コロナ終わったらまた来たいですーー

Pokemon people The Pokelid is near the entrance. There are multiple ticket options, only this museum, or with other places. I think there's both indoor and outdoor museum space here so don't visit on a rainy day. It was not busy on the Saturday we stopped. I really wanted to visit inside but my traveling companion did not. I was sad.

Mikasa city museum. Old coal mining town. Has interesting artifacts from coal mining heyday, features collection of large fossil ammonites which makes this a must for the fossil buff. Walking trail behind museum leads to track to the open-air section consisting of coal mine and geozones.
Terry Koh — Google review
A relatively small, inexpensive museum with a BEAUTIFUL ammonite collection as well as other fossils and historical pieces. If you love ammonite fossils this place is a must-see. Good for smaller children; older kids and adults will find the collection interesting but might feel that it is a bit limited.

(Translated by Google) 2023.7 I visited on an overnight trip in the car. I think the parking lot will be the square in front of the station. There was no space provided as a parking lot, so I parked in the square in front of the station. There is no toilet. The station building was decorated with many photos of the station and memories of those days from people who used Karamatsu station, and it was a wonderful station building that made me feel the good old days. Why don't you stop by as if you were passing by nearby? (Original) 2023.7 車中泊の旅で訪れました。 駐車場は駅前の広場になると思います。 駐車場として設けられているスペースが無かったので自分は駅前の広場に止めました。 トイレは有りません。 駅舎内には唐松駅を利用していた方々からの当時の駅の写真や思い出の写真が沢山飾られていて古き良き時代を感じさせてくれる素敵な駅舎でした。 近くを通る際に少し立ち寄ってみるくらいの感覚で寄ってみたらいかがでしょうか?
