Shibetsu

Shibetsu lies along the Teshio River in northern Hokkaido’s Nayoro Basin, where broad agricultural land is bordered by wooded hills and shaped by a notably long winter. Sheep raising is central to the city’s identity: the Hitsuji to Kumo no Oka, or “Sheep and Clouds Hill,” area is associated with grazing flocks, and Shibetsu is known in Japan for Suffolk lamb. The city also stands on the Sōya Main Line, the railway corridor linking Asahikawa with Wakkanai at Hokkaido’s northern tip.
