Tsubetsu: Where Forests and Sea of Clouds Create Magic
Population：4,000
Tsubetsu Town, located in Abashiri District in eastern Hokkaido, is a small municipality with a population of around 5,000, where over 80% of its land is covered by forests. Positioned between the Okhotsk region and inland eastern Hokkaido, it offers convenient access, about an hour by car from Memanbetsu Airport.
The inland climate brings mild, pleasant summers and cold, snowy winters. The town showcases clear seasonal changes, from fresh greenery in spring to vibrant autumn foliage and snowy winter landscapes, offering visitors a different experience each season.
The area features pristine nature, including a millennium-old Mizunara oak and Lake Chimikeppu surrounded by virgin forests. The sea of clouds over Lake Kussharo, visible from the Tsubetsu Pass Observatory, is a mystical sight that attracts many visitors seeking its breathtaking early morning views.
