Family Fun at “Asobikko Farm”

Next to the food court, the new indoor kids’ park has no time limit after entry.
Admission: ¥100 for adults, ¥500 for children (infants free). Kids can enjoy bounce houses and ball pits to their heart’s content—great for rainy or cold days.

Local Eats Meets National Chains

It’s Tokachi’s largest food court, ideal for “food hopping” between shopping sprees.
