Hidaka, Mountain town in Saru district, Japan
Hidaka extends across 992 square kilometers of mountainous territory at the intersection of routes connecting Sapporo, Furano, Obihiro, and Biratori.
The town developed around a railway line along the Saru River that transported lumber from mountain camps to coastal areas until its closure.
The town celebrates its agricultural heritage through two community mascots: Kurumi-chan representing walnut crops and Tonekko-kun symbolizing horse breeding traditions.
The town office operates from 210-1 Monbetsu Honchō, providing administrative services for the 12,596 residents spread across multiple districts.
Hidaka Ski Resort features four chairlifts and integrates Kogenso onsen, combining winter sports with traditional Japanese bathing experiences.
