Ozora, Administrative town in Okhotsk Subprefecture, Hokkaido, Japan
Ozora is a town in eastern Hokkaido, Japan, spanning 343 square kilometers across forested hills and river plains. It sits at the gateway to Shiretoko World Heritage site and serves as a regional hub for visitors exploring this part of the island.
The town was established on March 31, 2006, when Memanbetsu city and Higashimokoto village merged into a single municipality. This consolidation created a larger administrative unit to better support regional development and management.
The name Ozora means Large Sky in Japanese, reflecting the wide horizons that define the landscape of this northern region. Visitors notice how the open views and connection to nature shape the character of this place.
Memanbetsu Airport nearby connects the region to major domestic hubs with regular service. Two railway stations on the Sekihoku Main Line provide ground transportation options for exploring the wider area.
The town has a strong connection to aviation through its proximity to Memanbetsu Airport and the regional importance of air travel. This relationship with flying is a defining feature of how residents see their community.
