富良野市
Higashikawa feels creative, clean and lifestyle-driven, with a strong “small town with taste” personality. Just 10 minutes from Asahikawa Airport, it is known for pure groundwater, photography culture, cafés and Asahidake access. The water is so good that restaurant owners and sake brewers are drawn here, giving the town a quietly premium feel.
