Ashoro, Agricultural town in Tokachi Subprefecture, Japan
Ashoro is a town in Tokachi Subprefecture on Hokkaido, stretching across the base of Mount Meakan. The area is heavily forested and shaped by farming and forestry operations.
The town took its current form in 1955 when Nishiashoro merged with Ashoro village during administrative reforms. This union marked the shift toward a modern municipal structure.
The town's identity centers on farming life, with agriculture shaping how people spend their days and mark the seasons. Walking through, you notice fields and farms that define the landscape and local rhythms.
Regional buses link Ashoro with neighboring towns and serve as the main transport option for visitors. The road network also makes it easy to reach the larger city of Obihiro nearby.
Nearby Lake Onnetō in Akan National Park displays waters in different colors that shift with the seasons and weather. The mineral-rich composition of the lake creates this changing appearance.
