Nayoro, Winter sports destination in Kamikawa Subprefecture, Hokkaido, Japan

Located at 44.36° North latitude, Nayoro covers 535 square kilometers of land characterized by valleys, sunflower fields, and excellent conditions for stargazing.

The settlement evolved from Kaminayoro village in 1909 to Nayoro town in 1915, achieving city status in 1956 after merging with Chiebun village.

The name Nayoro originates from the Ainu language, signifying a location in the middle of a valley, reflecting the deep indigenous heritage of Hokkaido.

The city maintains connections through Nayoro Station rail services and road networks including National Route 40 and the Hokkaidō Expressway.

The city features a mascot named Nayoro-kun, designed as a mochi-shaped alien who enjoys stargazing and collecting toys.
