Betsukai, Agricultural town in Nemuro Subprefecture, Japan
Betsukai extends across 1,320 square kilometers of northeastern Hokkaido, making it the second largest town in the prefecture with 15,179 residents.
The establishment of Betsukai occurred in 1923 through the consolidation of six different villages, leading to its formal designation as a town in 1971.
Local festivals throughout the year feature dairy products and agricultural demonstrations, reflecting the town's status as part of Milk Land Hokkaido.
Visitors can reach Betsukai through regional trains at Attoko Station or Anebetsu Station, with connections to major Hokkaido transportation networks.
The town mascot, Ryoushi-kun, introduced in 2013, combines the appearance of a bull with fishing elements to represent local industries.
