Tokoro district, Administrative district in Okhotsk Subprefecture, Hokkaido, Japan
Tokoro district encompasses three main towns - Kunneppu, Oketo, and Saroma - covering a total area of 1,123 square kilometers in northern Japan.
The district was formally established on July 23, 1879, as part of the administrative reorganization of Hokkaido during the Meiji period modernization efforts.
The district maintained strong connections with Canadian culture after a 1980 visit from an Alberta curling team, leading to Japan's first dedicated curling facility.
The district maintains a population density of 15 persons per square kilometer, with transportation networks connecting its towns to other parts of Hokkaido.
Several Olympic curling athletes from the district represented Japan in international competitions, including five team members at the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics.
