Mori, Coastal town in Kayabe district, Japan
Mori sits along Uchiura Bay on the eastern coast of Oshima Peninsula, surrounded by forests and facing Mount Komagatake volcano at 1,132 meters elevation.
The settlement developed from a Pacific herring fishing base established in the 15th century by Hakodate fishermen, before receiving town status in 1921.
The name derives from the Ainu word Oniushi, meaning forested area, while local festivals celebrate traditions with drum performances and food stalls.
The town connects to major cities through the JR Hokkaido Hakodate Main Line, with stations providing regular train services to Hakodate and Sapporo.
Ikameshi, a wartime creation of rice-stuffed squid, originated at Mori Station where the inventor's shop continues operations to present day.
