Tomamae, Coastal municipality in Rumoi Subprefecture, Japan

Tomamae spans across 454 square kilometers of land along the western coast of Hokkaido, featuring mountain ranges and agricultural fields near the Sea of Japan.

The town received its official designation on April 1, 1902, undergoing administrative changes before its reorganization as a municipality on October 1, 1948.

The name originates from Ainu language referring to salmon swimming locations, reflecting the deep connection between local communities and marine resources.

The town maintains essential facilities including schools, medical centers, and transportation networks that connect residents to major Hokkaido urban centers.

Tomamae selected a brown bear cub named Kumada Tomao as its mascot, wearing a hat with windmill and local product badges representing the town.
