Futamata hot spring travertine01 ／ Oshamambe Onsen
The town writes that in 1955, while test-drilling for natural gas, hot spring water erupted by chance along with the gas, and that water from sources found later is piped to the inns. The town has another hot spring, Futamata Radium Onsen, whose open-air bath looks onto a travertine dome.

The town writes that the JR Hokkaido Hakodate Main Line and Muroran Main Line branch within the town. Its chronology records that a railway opened in 1903 with a station at Oshamambe, and the town says the Hokkaido Shinkansen station will raise its role as a transport hub.
03 ／ Shizukari Wetland
The town describes Shizukari Wetland as Hokkaido's southernmost raised bog, about 10 km from the town center toward Muroran at the foot of Otamoi mountain. It records skunk cabbage in spring, irises and cotton grass in early summer, and sundews.
