My family and I visited Kamiyubetsu Roadside Station for the first time last September 18, 2022, during our September 17 – 19 Road Trip. It was my 321st day in Japan as an ALT under the JET Programme. My daughter and I didn’t miss the opportunity to visit the roadside station as we collected roadside station stamps for our Hokkaido Stamp Rally. Sadly, because we were in a rush, we weren’t able to take a dip at its famed onsen. Well, that only means that we have a reason to revisit Kamiyubetsu Roadside Station someday.Kamiyubetsu Roadside Station Fees
