Pippu Town

Famous as the "Town of Skiing and Strawberries," Pippu is a vibrant hands-on travel destination offering strawberry picking in early summer and excellent skiing slopes in the winter. Agriculture is the core of the community, and the town is proudly celebrated as the birthplace of "Yumepirika"—one of Hokkaido’s most prestigious premium rice brands. With two major national highways and an expressway network running through it, Pippu serves as a key regional transportation hub, surrounded by lush green pastoral residential areas that boast breathtaking views of the Daisetsuzan Mountain Range. Local highlights include the newly renovated JR Pippu Station—once made famous by a legendary Japanese TV commercial—and Pippu Shrine, which is currently gaining great popularity as a spiritual "power spot" for matchmaking and good fortune.
