In addition to the many restaurants and inns offering a variety of Toteyaki options, you can also enjoy savory versions of this delightful dish.

Nasushiobara’s economy is heavily dependent on seasonal tourism to its various hot spring resorts. Its thriving dairy industry is also a major source of income, which contributes to the city’s mascot – Miruhi, the teddy bear who represents the spirit of the town. The city’s beautiful natural environment also gives rise to a wide range of recreational activities, including hiking and mountain climbing in Kinomata Valley, or exploring the seasonal beauty of Numappara Marshland on foot.
