"Scenic Byway" is a combination of the adjective Scenic of landscape and scene, and Byway that means side road and twist road.

This initiative brings together local communities and governments through roads to "create beautiful landscapes," "build vibrant communities," and "create attractive tourist spaces." Each route is carrying out unique activities that are unique to the area, such as planting flowers and cleaning the roads, developing recommended scenic spots in the area, and disseminating information about them. Currently, there are 15 designated routes and two candidate routes, and about 500 groups are active. NEXCO EAST Hokkaido Regional Head Office is also participating in this initiative.
For more information, please see the Scenic Byway Hokkaido website.
