Wine Castle & DCTgarden IKEDA Tour Bus Pack|Obihiro Departure|Tokachi, Hokkaido
This is an economical plan that includes a round-trip bus ticket from the Obihiro Station bus terminal to Ikeda Station, the closest stop to the Wine Castle, as well as a 500 yen voucher for the Wine Castle store. The Wine Castle got its name because of its resemblance to a castle, and it has become a symbol of Ikeda Town. There are many attractions, such as a shop with a museum and wine-tasting samples from the wine-aging cellar. The Wine Castle also offers magnificent views of the Tokachi Plain from the restaurant on the 4th floor and the rooftop observatory.
Wine Castle
From the rooftop observatory terrace, you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the Tokachi Plain countryside, the Toshibetsu River that flows through Ikeda Town, and the ridgeline of the magnificent Hidaka Mountains. In the wine-aging cellar, you can see barrel aging, bottle aging, and a number of vintage wines that have already been shipped. In the wine-aging cellar, there are French oak barrels in which the wine quietly ages and several old vintages. In the shopping area on the 1st floor, you can buy Tokachi wine and other Ikeda specialties. There is also a restaurant on the 4th floor.
DCTgarden IKEDA
Artist Miwa Yoshida had for a long time wanted to contribute something to her hometown of Ikeda, Hokkaido. At the same time, Ikeda Town wanted DREAMS COME TRUE to create some kind of development using the town's facility, "Kyu-bussan no Yakata" ("Former Production Building"). Both desires were realized in the form of DCTgarden IKEDA. The purpose of DCTgarden IKEDA is to serve as "storage" (a warehouse) for archiving and displaying a large number of analog materials related to DREAMS COME TRUE and Miwa Yoshida.
