Bibai, Industrial city in central Hokkaido, Japan

Bibai extends across the Ishikari Plain between Asahikawa and Sapporo, with the Ishikari River flowing along its western boundary.

Japanese farmer-soldiers established Bibai in 1891, transforming it into a major rice production center for the Sorachi region by the early 1900s.

The Kan Yasuda Sculpture Museum displays marble and stone artworks, reflecting the contemporary artistic influences in this former coal mining city.

The JR Hakodate Line Limited Express connects Bibai Station to Sapporo Station in 35 minutes, offering regular services throughout the day.

Lake Miyajima near Bibai received recognition as a Ramsar Convention wetland in 2002, protecting its water ecosystem and resident bird species.
