Tsukigata, Rural town in Sorachi Subprefecture, Japan.

Tsukigata extends over 151 square kilometers of land in eastern Sorachi, featuring agricultural fields surrounded by natural Hokkaido landscapes.

The town received its name from Kiyoshi Tsukigata, who served as the first warden of Kabato Prison established in 1881.

The Tsukigata Prison Museum, established in 1983, preserves local history through exhibitions and documents about the penal system development.
