Hamanaka Town, at the eastern edge of the Kushiro region, features a dramatic Pacific coastline with cliffs and islands. Its cool climate brings summer sea fog and sunny, dry winters. This environment supports thriving dairy and fishing industries. The town produces top-quality milk, used in premium ice creams, along with exquisite sea urchin and kelp. A major attraction is the vast Kiritappu Wetland, a nature reserve teeming with seasonal flowers and wild birds.
