Shiriuchi, Rural town in Kamiiso district, Japan.
Located in southwestern Hokkaido, Shiriuchi extends across 196 square kilometers of land, with forests covering eighty percent of its territory.
The town received its official designation in 1906 as a village before gaining town status in 1967, marking its administrative evolution in Hokkaido.
The name derives from the Ainu language term Chiri-Ochi, reflecting the territorial connection to indigenous people and the presence of local birds.
Visitors can reach Shiriuchi by taking Route 228 from Hakodate city and connecting to Prefectural Road 531 for direct access to the town center.
