Setana, Coastal town in Kudō district, Japan

Setana is a coastal town in Kudō district located in Hokkaido's Hiyama region, facing the Sea of Japan. The Shiribeshi-Toshibetsu River runs through its center.

The town as it exists today was formed on September 1, 2005, when Kitahiyama and Taisei merged with the original settlement. This consolidation created the present-day municipality.

The community's identity is rooted in fishing and maritime traditions that shape daily life and local food culture. People here maintain deep ties to the sea that influence both work and customs.

Government services are centered in the Kitahiyama district for daily needs and inquiries. The location on the coast makes access to the shoreline straightforward and convenient.

The town is home to Japan's first operational offshore wind farm, with two turbines harnessing winds from the Sea of Japan. These installations represent an early step in the country's renewable energy development.
