PLANNING NOTES
How to shape Obihiro
01
Use Obihiro historic core as the orientation base, then group Obihiro historic anchor and Obihiro market and food route before crossing to the other side of Obihiro.
02
Give Obihiro waterfront or civic edge its own slower block; the local rhythm there is more useful than adding another distant headline stop.
03
Plan Obihiro regional landscape as a deliberate extension from Obihiro regional base, checking return timing before committing the day.
