Mukawa

The landscape around Mukawa is a low coastal plain on Hokkaido’s Pacific shore, crossed by the Mukawa River, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. The town sits in the Hidaka area of southern Hokkaido, where the river meets the Pacific Ocean and fishing remains part of everyday life. Mukawa is widely known in Japan for shishamo, a small smelt traditionally grilled or dried; its autumn season is a familiar marker in local food culture. The municipality also extends inland toward the former town of Hobetsu, an area noted for fossil discoveries, adding a geological dimension to this coastal community.
