Hiroo
7.1
Lower score (below 6)
Hiroo is a Tokachi coastal town of around 12,000 known for ma-kombu (kelp) harvesting — the Hidaka kelp (hidaka konbu) and Tokachi kelp landed here are premium dashi ingredients used in high-end Japanese cooking. The fishing port and kelp drying racks define the town's physical character. Social infrastructure is minimal and the community is fishing and farming families. The kelp is excellent; the social environment is exactly what you'd expect from a remote coastal fishing town in eastern Hokkaido.
