Mukawa

Mukawa balances a working Pacific coast with broad Hokkaido farmland, reflecting its position along the eastern edge of Iburi Subprefecture. The Mukawa River flows from the interior to the Pacific Ocean, creating a landscape that changes from coastal flats to wooded uplands. The town is widely associated with shishamo, a small fish traditionally dried and grilled; its autumn season is an important local tradition. Since merging with Hobetsu in 2006, Mukawa has stretched far inland, where the Hobetsu Museum presents fossils found in the surrounding area.
