Town of Japan's top mochi rice and mystical winter sun pillars
Population：24,700
Nayoro City, located in northern Hokkaido's basin, has about 24,000 residents. Centered around the Teshio and Nayoro rivers, it experiences an extreme inland climate with annual temperature differences exceeding 60°C. Winters are severely cold, often falling below -30°C, creating mystical sun pillars, diamond dust, and top-tier powder snow. This climate also boosts agriculture; Nayoro is Japan's top producer of mochi rice and asparagus. It’s a beautiful city of summer sunflowers and winter snow.
