# Noboribetsu Rakunokan (dairy)

Places we stopped along the way　/　Noboribetsu, Hokkaido

A dairy that made milk products from Noboribetsu milk, with its factory and shop in a closed school building; a banner from the school's days still hung over the entrance. I bought jars of torori pudding and Noboribetsu cheese. It was reported to have ceased operations in May 2026.

73-3 Satsunai-cho, Noboribetsu, Hokkaido

## This moment in the journey: Hokkaido means dairy

Speaking of Hokkaido, you can't miss the dairy. At a dairy shop set up in a closed school building, I picked up jars of torori pudding and boxes of Noboribetsu cheese. A banner from the school's days still hung over the entrance: "Gentle and strong, the children of Satsunai."
