Population：8,700
Higashikawa, a town of 8,500 near Asahikawa Airport, lies at the foot of Mt. Asahidake. It is the only town in Hokkaido without a public water supply, as residents use pure groundwater from Daisetsuzan. The inland climate brings snowy, beautiful winters. Known as the "Town of Photography," it attracts artists worldwide. Blessed with this pristine water, the town produces delicious Higashikawa rice and high-quality wooden furniture, making it a highly popular destination for new residents.
