A city in central-west Hokkaido. Incorporated as a city in 1957. The Do-o Expressway runs through the city. It developed as a coal mining town in the central Ishikari coalfield, but by 1989, many mines had closed one after another. An industrial complex was then developed, attracting carbon black factories and other businesses. Katsurazawa Dam is located upstream of the Ikushunbetsu River, and horticulture is practiced downstream. Area: 302.52 km2 . Population: 10,221 (2010).
