Throughout each season, more than 300 varieties of flowers bloom in Kaze-no Garden, a small but splendid garden surrounded by verdant tress that's a great place to take a stroll.

A millennium -- to you or me, this may seem like an eternity. Our modern society prizes speed, but perhaps we have become fixated on only what we can see occurring before our eyes? Forests are different. In a forest, time flows in units called millennia. Humans have achieved convenience and comfort, but at the cost of global-scale environmental problems. How does a forest perceive our world? This forest looks to our future. Forests, gardens, agriculture, art, food. Let us interact with nature from a variety of angles, and together think about our future. And that is the goal of Tokachi Millennium Forest.

Vast hillsides filled with vibrant pink shibazakura (moss phlox) blossoms create a truly breathtaking sight. Visitors will doubtlessly be surprised to learn that most of the moss phlox was planted by a single person -- by hand. These hills tell the story of one man's love for flowers. The park began with a single bushel of moss phlox planted in a garden immediately after the end of the war. The owner diligently spread the flowers into a ver itable moss phlox park behind his house. This remarkable story and beautiful sight would propel a tiny town to nationwide fame.

Japan's only prison museum. Set over an expansive ground, this facility preserves and displays the prison complex buildings of Abashiri Prison, which was in service since the Meiji Period. Perhaps most impressive is the five-winged radial prison house of f ive buildings fanned out from a central watch tower. A registered tangible cultural heritage of Japan, this structure is also the oldest wooden prison building in the world. These historical buildings are populated by mannequin inmates so realistic you can almost hear them breathe. Step inside the Abashiri Prison Museum and take a trip back in time. The cafeteria even serves meals based on the actual recipes served to prisoners.
