ABOUT
ABASHIRI

ABOUT
ABASHIRI

Abashiri City is located in the northern part of Hokkaido along the Okhotsk Sea (pronounced ok-ho-tsk). It’s on your way to the Shiretoko National Park from Memanbetsu Airport. Abashiri offers more than the drift ice! Spend some time in this old fishing town and explore the city yourself!

  • Lake Notoro

    Lake Notoro

    Lake Notoro is one of the 4 lakes in Abashiri City. It’s an open lake to Okhotsk Sea and on the coast line are fields and grasslands forming a beautiful color combination along with the deep blue ocean. My favorite area.

  • Lake Kussharo

    Lake Kussharo, Japan’s largest crater lake is located at the vicinity of Abashiri City. I love the view from Mt. Mokoto

    Potatoes, wheat and sugar beets are Hokkaido’s main agricultural products. Most of the potatoes in Abashiri are made for processing into potato chips and starch.

  • Fog Ice

    When the temperature drops at night after a warm day, the steam rises from the ground and freezes into ice crystals. A very mystic sight at early winter morning.

    Since there are much more coniferous trees in Hokkaido, the foliage is more yellowish than bright red as you see in mainland Japan.

    Here in Abashiri, sakura blossoms in mid May – nearly 2 months later than Tokyo.

    Morning glory!

  • Observatory at Mt. Tento

    Observatory at Mt. Tento

    Mt. Tento literally means “beautiful enough to say that you’re at heaven’s capital”. Sure enough the view from the 207m hill overlooks the city and shows numerous different sights for every 4 season.

    To remember the hardships of the prisoners in the pioneer days. The development of Hokkaido in the pioneer days owed a lot to the prisoners who built the main roads.
