「狩勝峠を越えると本当の北海道がある」
農業王国と称される美しい田園地帯とカラマツの防風林が果てしなく続く十勝平野。日高と大雪の美しい山並みを仰ぎ、日本離れした景観は多くの人々を惹きつける。一方で、太平洋に面する海岸線には広漠とした砂浜や湖沼が広がり、道東随一の釣りの好適地として賑わう。大地と海の恵みによって育まれた食文化も十勝の大いなる魅力だ。
冬は十勝晴れと呼ばれる晴天の日が、夏は30度を越える日がしばしば続き、気温の変動が大きい。この大平原の中心都市である帯広をベースに広大な十勝のフィールドを駆け巡ろう。
‘Crossing the Karikachi Pass, there is real Hokkaido.’ The magnificent Tokachi (Population 334,000) is Japan’s ‘Agricultural Kingdom’, with endress picturesque countryside and beautifully mountain ridges.
