Urahoro Town sits at the eastern edge of the Tokachi region on the Pacific coast of Hokkaido — a small, nature-rich town where the wide sandy beaches of Tokachibutu meet the open Pacific Ocean. Urahoro Forest Park, selected as one of Japan's 100 Urban Parks, is a verdant park offering auto-camping, heated swimming pools, and sports facilities ideal for families. In recent years, Urahoro has attracted attention for its sturgeon (Chozame) aquaculture initiative — an effort to cultivate this once-native 'phantom fish' of the Tokachi River as a premium local food brand. Agriculture and dairy farming are also central to the local economy, making Urahoro a genuinely atmospheric Pacific coastal farming town where wide farm landscapes meet blue ocean.
