Abuta district

Abuta District spans 1,113 square kilometers across Hokkaido, encompassing eight municipalities including Kutchan, Niseko, and Toyoura within its boundaries.

The district formation occurred on July 23, 1879, during the administrative restructuring of Hokkaido, initially as part of Iburi Province before partial transfer to Shiribeshi.

The district combines traditional Japanese rural lifestyles with modern winter sports culture through its diverse towns and natural environment across multiple subprefectures.

Transportation networks connect the district's eight towns, allowing residents and visitors to access both the skiing areas and agricultural regions throughout the seasons.

The region hosted the 34th G8 summit in Toyako town during 2008, marking its position in international diplomatic relations.
