Rumoi

Built around Sea of Japan ports and fisheries, Rumoi developed into a coastal administrative region of northwestern Hokkaido. Its shoreline runs from the fishing towns of Mashike and Obira north toward Haboro, where ferries connect the mainland with Teuri and Yagishiri islands. The coast has long been associated with herring, a trade that helped shape settlements and harbour life across this part of Hokkaido. Inland, farming country and wooded hills lead away from the open sea, while Shokanbetsu-Teuri-Yagishiri Quasi-National Park protects a section of the coast and islands.
