Kamiiso [town] - Kamiiso
An old town in Kamiiso District, Hokkaido. It occupies the coast of Hakodate Bay and the mountainous area behind it, and the Esashi Line runs through it. In 1855, the Matsumae Clan's jinya was established in Hekiri-chi. The fertile land has long been a thriving agricultural area, but in recent years it has become a coastal industrial zone, with companies manufacturing cement and refining oil moving in. Tobetsu in the south is home to a male Trappist monastery. In February 2006, it was merged with Ono Town, Kameda District, to become a city, forming Hokuto City. Area: 262.41 km2 . Population: 37,286 (2003).
