Tenma Road
A route that connects Hidaka and Tokachi, It is an amazing driving course
A road that connects Hiroo and Urakawa on the National Highway 236. Everywhere on the road could be said to be a view point, and you can enjoy seasonally changing faces of magnificent nature and beautiful ravines of Hidaka Mountains. It is amazing during the fall foliage. In particular, “Nozuka Tunnel” area is known as a great photo spot for foliage.
Taking a break at the Suimei Bridge Park, known for its water, is highly recommended.

Goshiki-keikoku　五色渓谷 Goshiki Gorge
Goshiki Gorge is a scenic spot located in the upstream of the Niobetsu River, a tributary of the Hidaka-Horobetsu River running along the Tenma Kaido Road, which connects the Hidaka area and the Tokachi area in Hokkaido.
This 10-kilometer beautiful gorge is counted as one of the 10 fine scenic spots in Urakawa Town. Located almost in the middle of the route crossing the Hidaka Mountain Range, which is called “the spine of Hokkaido,” visitors can enjoy bountiful nature of the Hidaka area all through the year.
The gorge
is surrounded with the forest of white birch, Japanese maple tree, Painted maple, Japanese Judas tree and Japanese Hop-hornbeam (Ostrya japonica). As is called “Goshiki (Five Colors),” the surrounding mountains are covered with colorful leaves in fall. The best time to view autumn leaves is from late September to the middle of October. Going down to the river bank, you can enjoy seeing the reflected images of red leaves on the surface of the clear stream. However, the most magnificent is the sights of the gorge seen from Suimeibashi Park and the Goshiki-bashi Bridge.
