Overview
Situated on Hokkaido, the second-largest island of Japan, Kitami’s inviting cityscape presents travelers with striking cultural experiences and easy access to the surrounding countryside. With Kitami particularly admired for its peaceful hot spring onsens and sumptuous grilled cuisine, this remote part of Japan is the ideal destination for those looking to take some time out. Start planning your visit today.
Visiting a calming natural hot spring onsen is a must for every visitor to Japan. You’ll find some of the country’s best near Kitami, with the Onneyu Onsen and the Saromako Tsuruga Resort renowned for their superior water quality. Meanwhile, visitors will find stellar accommodation nestled in the hills or overlooking Lake Saroma.
Understanding how the city of Kitami has been shaped over the years is made easy through a series of engaging history museums situated in the surrounding area. One of the most popular is the Kitami Mint Memorial Museum, which highlights how the region was once responsible for 70% of the world's mint consumption.
With the distant reaches of Kitami stretching to the picturesque Sea of Okhotsk, local fishers deliver incredibly high-quality seafood to eateries across the region. Plus, the city is also famed for its collection of barbecue restaurants, where you’ll find sumptuous yakiniku-style dishes that showcase the city’s exceptional culinary traditions.
