Nakagawa

Nakagawa has served as a river settlement in northern Hokkaido since the early 20th century. Set in the broad valley of the Teshio River, this small town lies in the forested interior of Japan’s northernmost main island, well away from the larger coastal centres. The Nakagawa Museum of Natural History presents the area’s fossil record, including ammonites found in surrounding Cretaceous strata, giving the town a notable scientific identity. Teshio-Nakagawa Station on the Sōya Main Line places it on the rail corridor leading north towards Wakkanai. Snowy winters and the river’s changing course remain part of local life.
