Tobetsu, Rural town in Ishikari district, Hokkaido, Japan.
Located in northern Ishikari Subprefecture, Tobetsu stretches across 422 square kilometers of low mountains and plains near the Ishikari River.
Established as a settlement in 1902, Tobetsu underwent major administrative changes in 1947 during Japan's post-war reconstruction period.
The town's name originates from Ainu language meaning 'river from marsh', reflecting the indigenous heritage of Hokkaido's original inhabitants.
The Health Sciences University of Hokkaido and Hokkaido Tobetsu High School provide educational services to residents and students in the region.
The town mascot Tobenosuke represents a Eurasian tree sparrow wearing a kimono made from baby's breath flowers, symbolizing local agricultural products.
