Tokachi Sennen no Mori (Tokachi Millennium of Forest)

This comprehensive facility incorporates various elements of nature, including the “Hokkaido Garden” where visitors can experience nature in each of the four seasons, restaurants, and contemporary art exhibits.

Segway tours on Segways through grasslands and forests are environmentally friendly and ideal for enjoying the spectacular views as far as the eye can see.

Visitors can also learn about Hokkaido’s dairy farming industry, try their hand at making cheese, and enjoy a meal by baking a pizza with cheese made during the “Tokachi Natural Cheese Making Experience” held in GW and August.

Tokachi Millennium Woods has five gardens that make use of the nature that originally existed on the approximately 500-hectare site.

Of these, the Earth Garden and Meadow Garden have received worldwide acclaim.

In 2012, the garden won the “Grand Award” and “International Award” at the SGD Awards of the Society of Garden Designers in England, and was described as “the most beautiful garden in the world.

Designed by Dan Pearson, a world-renowned garden designer, the garden is rooted in nature.

The Meadow Garden is an ecological garden that uses a planting technique called naturalistic planting. The garden is planted with Tokachi’s native species, horticultural species, and native North American species to recreate the ecosystem.

In the Farm Garden, vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers are grown, and goats and sheep are raised.

The Tokachi Millennium Woods is dotted with works by internationally renowned contemporary artists, including “Kamui’s Circle” and “Kisara’s Piece,” both based on Ainu folklore.

The café serves light meals and sweets made from homemade dairy products.

There are many attractions, and it takes about 2 hours just to visit all of them, but even if you do not have much time to spare, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of trees and plants growing in their natural state, beautiful gardens, and the charm of Tokachi, the dairy farming town of Tokachi.
