Rumoi

Rumoi is best known in Hokkaido for its historic role as a herring-fishing port. The city occupies a stretch of Hokkaido’s northwestern coast on the Sea of Japan, where its harbour has long linked the region with maritime trade and fisheries. Herring once drove local settlement and commerce, and that legacy remains central to Rumoi’s identity; the city is also associated with kazunoko, or herring roe, a staple of Japanese New Year cuisine. Beyond the waterfront, the urban area gives way to the broad, snowy landscapes of northern Hokkaido.
