Kita no Yatai (北の屋台)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A yatai (food stall) village within walking distance of Obihiro Station where you can casually enjoy Tokachi's food culture. Small shops line the street, offering menus featuring butadon (pork rice bowl), dishes using Tokachi beef, and fresh local Hokkaido ingredients. Perfect as a place to grab a light meal before the fireworks festival in the evening, with counter seating at each shop where families can try various items one by one. Realize the richness of Tokachi's cuisine here before heading to the riverbed for the night's show. As dining options become limited in the venue area, eating well during this time ensures a comfortable viewing experience.

Tips

Approximately 5 minutes on foot from Obihiro Station. On the fireworks festival day, the evening can get crowded, so arriving around 4:00 PM is recommended. Each shop is compact, so there may be wait times during peak hours. Purchasing beverages here and bringing them to the riverbed is convenient and recommended.

Best time to visit

Approximately 2 hours required. Entering around 4:00 PM as dinner allows for minimal wait times and comfortable pacing.
