Abira, Agricultural town in Yufutsu district, Japan
The town extends across the Yufutsu Plain to the Yūbari Mountains, featuring hills, agricultural fields, and natural landscapes in Hokkaido prefecture.
The town received its first municipal status in 1923, and in 2006, the towns of Hayakita and Oiwake merged to form the current Abira.
The name Abira originates from Ainu language, interpreted as ar-pira-pet, which refers to the surface of a cliff's river in indigenous terminology.
Located just 30 minutes from New Chitose Airport and one hour from Sapporo, Abira connects to major transport routes through the Hokkaido Railway Company.
The town houses Japan's first large-scale domestic cheese manufacturing factory, established in 1933 in the Toasa area, producing regional Camembert varieties.
