Restaurants in Obihiro

日本料理 八寸 makes a case for serious Japanese dining in Obihiro, a city whose Tokachi Plain larder gives any committed kitchen a genuine advantage. Booking is straightforward by Japanese fine dining standards, the name — a reference to the hassun, the seasonal course that anchors a Japanese meal — signals clear intent. A worthwhile detour for food-focused Hokkaido travellers.

Obihiro's sole 2026 Tabelog 100 Chinese restaurant operates dinner-only at JPY 10,000–14,999, offering private rooms and parking 506 metres from the station. The Sunday-closed format and weekday 6–10 PM window suit groups seeking course-based Chinese cooking in a region otherwise dominated by yakiniku and ramen. Book weekdays for easier availability; the lack of lunch service and website means phone reservations are required.

A Tabelog 100-ranked gelato counter on Hirose Ranch, serving farm-direct scoops under JPY 999. Open daily April through September (reduced hours October-March, closed January-February), with 20-car parking and beautiful pasture views. Cash-only for in-store purchases; takeout format with three four-person tables. Worth the 3 km drive from Nishi Obihiro station if you're already exploring Hokkaido's dairy belt.
