Fukagawa, Agricultural city in Hokkaido, Japan.

The city extends across 529 square kilometers of the Ishikari Plain, featuring rice fields and fruit orchards against a mountainous background.

The settlement began between 1895 and 1896 when colonist militia established farms, leading to official city status in 1963.

Sakurayama Park draws residents and visitors during spring for the Citizens' Cherry Blossom Festival, celebrating local traditions.

The Hokkaido Expressway and Hakodate Main Line connect Fukagawa to major cities, with regular train and bus services to Sapporo.

The Taishō Canal system supplies water from Ishikari River to the rice fields, making Fukagawa the third-largest rice producer in Hokkaido.
