The area of Otofuke is part of the Tokachi region, known for its vast agricultural plains and high-quality dairy products. An interesting local fact is that the nearby city of Obihiro hosts the annual "Ban'ei" horse races, a unique tradition where draft horses pull heavy sleds over sand tracks, a spectacle found only in Hokkaido. The closest major tourist attraction is the scenic Shikaribetsu Lake, located within Daisetsuzan National Park, offering beautiful hiking, hot springs, and volcanic landscapes.
