Sorachi district, Administrative district in Hokkaido, Japan

The Sorachi district spans across 1,497 square kilometers of land between Sorachi and Kamikawa Subprefectures, containing six distinct towns within its boundaries.

The district emerged through the establishment of provinces in Hokkaido during 1869, officially receiving its designation as Sorachi District on July 23, 1879.

The region maintains strong agricultural traditions, particularly known for producing Sorachi ace hops, which contribute to Japanese beer production.

The district connects several important towns including Nanporo, Naie, Kamisunagawa, Kamifurano, Nakafurano, and Minamifurano through an integrated transportation network.

With a population density of 35 people per square kilometer, the district represents one of the more sparsely populated administrative regions in Hokkaido.
