Okhotsk Subprefecture, Administrative division in Hokkaido, Japan
Okhotsk Subprefecture spans 10,690 square kilometers in northeastern Hokkaido, bordered by the Sea of Okhotsk with Abashiri as its capital city.
The region transformed from Abashiri Subprefecture to Okhotsk Subprefecture in 2010, marking a significant administrative reorganization in Hokkaido's governmental structure.
The Hokkaidō Museum of Northern Peoples in Abashiri presents exhibits about the Ainu, Inuit, and Sami communities, documenting the northern indigenous populations.
The subprefecture maintains transportation networks connecting cities like Kitami, Abashiri, and Monbetsu, facilitating movement across its numerous municipalities.
Winter brings drift ice from the Amur River to the Okhotsk coast, creating opportunities for ice-breaking vessel tours and ice diving experiences.
