Rumoi, Port city in northwestern Hokkaido, Japan.
The city extends along the Sea of Japan at the mouth of the Rumoi River, surrounded by mountains and covering 297 square kilometers.
Founded as a village in 1877, Rumoi evolved from a herring fishing center into a city in 1947, adapting its economy after the fish population declined.
The name Rumoi originates from Ainu language, reflecting the deep connection between the indigenous people and the geographical features of the region.
The Fukagawa-Rumoi Expressway connects the city to major transportation networks, while the port facilitates timber and coal shipping operations.
The city maintains a sister relationship with Ulan-Ude in Russia and Pontianak in Indonesia, representing its international maritime connections.
