Haboro
Tucked along the Sea of Japan coast in northwestern Hokkaido, Haboro is a place whose character is shaped by its working harbour and broad rural surroundings. The Haboro River runs through town to the coast, where low-rise neighbourhoods, local businesses and port activity meet. Haboro Port provides ferry connections to Teuri and Yagishiri, offshore islands administered by the town, making it an important mainland link for their communities. Coal mining once supported Haboro’s economy, while the inland area opens into the agricultural country of Rumoi Subprefecture. Haboro presents an everyday side of northern Hokkaido, distinct from the prefecture’s largest urban centres.

Haboro straddles the Haboro River as it meets the Sea of Japan in northwestern Hokkaido, a position that has made its harbour a practical link between the mainland and offshore islands. Ferries from Haboro Port run to Teuri and Yagishiri, two islands off the Rumoi coast known respectively for seabird habitat and a long-established forest landscape. The town also retains the memory of the Haboro coalfield, whose mines supported local development during the twentieth century before closing in 1970. With open sea to the west and Hokkaido's interior behind it, Haboro has a distinctly maritime rhythm.
