Monbetsu, Coastal city in Okhotsk Subprefecture, Japan
Monbetsu extends across 830 square kilometers along the northeastern coast of Hokkaido, facing the Sea of Okhotsk with its port and marine facilities.
The settlement transformed from a village office in 1889 to a town in 1919, finally receiving city status in 1954 through integration with neighboring communities.
The city name originates from the Ainu language word 'Mopet', meaning quiet river, reflecting the indigenous heritage of the Hokkaido region.
The Monbetsu Airport maintains daily connections to Tokyo, while bus services link the city to major centers including Sapporo and Asahikawa.
The Okhotsk Sea Ice Museum contains a frozen aquarium where visitors observe fish preserved in ice and experience a specialized sub-zero environment.
