The islands of Hokkaido, Japan and Alberta, Canada became a brother province in 1980. Later, curling was introduced to Tokoro Town as outdoor recreation while farmers were unable to work in the winter, and has become a popular sport among the people in Tokoro. In 1981, lessons were held by former world champion Wally Ursuliak. The City Administration of Tokoro, then Kitami City, built a spinning facility in a public room in 1988, which was rebuilt as an Adventure Tokoro Curling Hall in 2013. But the main sponsor is not in Tokoro because it is a small local town. As a result, a famous curler born in Tokoro has gone to another prefecture in Japan.

History
Mari Motohashi, who was an Olympic athlete at Trino 2006 and in Vancouver 2010 as a member of Team Aomori, also became one of those curlers. He wondered why the tweezers born in Tokoro could not stay in the city. In the summer of 2010, he asked two former curlers after retirement, Megumi Mabuchi and Akane Eda, and two Yurika Yoshida and Yumi Suzuki curators, to join his title named "Loco Solare," also known as "LS Kitami." At a press conference in Tokyo on August 16, 2010, he announced leaving Japan's national team representative Aomori to establish his own arena in Tokoro. It is hard to find big sponsors in Kitami City, but small ones are increasing slowly. But in September 2013, Eda left the team because she could not keep the curling balance and her pastry chef work.
