Ishikari
7.6
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Ishikari sits at the mouth of the Ishikari River — the fourth longest river in Japan — where it meets the Sea of Japan, and the city of 57,000 is best known for the salmon that run up this river every autumn and for the Ishikari hot pot (Ishikari nabe) built around that fish with miso, butter, and vegetables. The Hama-no-Machi beach area has some summer beach culture given its proximity to Sapporo (about 40 minutes). It's within the greater Sapporo metro orbit and has grown as a coastal residential community. The city's social life is limited but the proximity to Sapporo means it functions better as a suburb than as a standalone destination.
