Bihoro, Mountain town in Okhotsk Subprefecture, Japan
Bihoro extends across 438 square kilometers of land in eastern Hokkaido, surrounded by mountains and forests near Lake Kussharo.
The settlement transformed from Bihoro Village to Bihoro Town in 1923, incorporating sections of Tsubetsu Village and Memanbetsu Village into its territory.
The name Bihoro originates from the Ainu word piporo, reflecting the indigenous heritage of this water-rich region in northern Japan.
Memanbetsu Airport provides direct access to Bihoro, while the Japan Railways network connects the town to other destinations throughout Hokkaido.
The Bihoro Pass observation point reveals Lake Kussharo, the Shiretoko Mountain Range, and Mt. Io volcano from an elevation of 525 meters.
