Name origin
  • The city says "Ishikari" comes from the Ainu Ishikara-pet (イシカラペツ). It means either "the river that flows winding and meandering" or "the beautiful river made by the gods."7
  • Most interpretations refer to the meandering Ishikari River. Nagata Hōsei's Hokkaido Ezo-go Chimei-kai (1891) records competing readings.1
    • i-sikar-pet, "circling (winding) river": the explanation of the Ainu of the middle reaches.
    • isi-kar, "beautifully made": upper-reach Ainu said the creator god Kotan-kar-kamuy traced the river's course with his thumb.
    • isi-kar-pet, "place where arrow feathers are made from bird tails": a Wajin theory that Ainu elders rejected.
    • isikari, "blocked": the river bends so much that its upper course cannot be seen.
  • Atsuta (厚田): the name appears as "あつた" on the Matsumae domain map of 1661 and on the Genroku map presented to the shogunate in 1700.28
  • Hamamasu (浜益): the area was once called Herokkarushi (ヘロク・カル・シ・イ), "place where herring are always caught." It was also called Mashike ("too many"). When the Mashike trading post moved north to present-day Mashike, this area became "Hama-Mashike." From 1869 it was written 浜益 (Hamamasu).29
  • Coastal names in the north are Ainu too, for example Gokibiru (濃昼, pokin-pir, "lower shade"), Okurige (送毛, ukuruki, a water plantain) and Bishabetsu (毘砂別, pi-san-pet, "river where stones flow out").29

History
  • Prehistory: about 6,000 years ago most of today's city lay under the sea. People settled on the sand dunes that formed later. Salmon bones appear in Jōmon house remains.2
    • Momijiyama No. 49 site (石狩紅葉山49号遺跡): excavated 1995–2002; it yielded more than 90,000 artifacts. It includes wooden salmon weirs about 4,000 years old. They are the oldest salmon-fishing structures known in Japan and resemble the Ainu teshi weir.13
    • Okajima Cave (岡島洞窟遺跡), Hamamasu: it holds seven occupation layers from Jōmon to Satsumon. Okhotsk-culture pottery from one layer makes it the southernmost such site on the Sea of Japan coast.30
  • Ishikari basho: in the Keichō era (1596–1615) the Matsumae domain set up the Ishikari trading post (石狩場所). Retainers traded with the Ainu chiefs of the Ishikari River basin for dried salmon, eagle feathers and furs.31
    • By the late 1780s this had grown into the "Ishikari Thirteen Basho" (イシカリ十三場所), which extended up the river.32
    • The Murayama family (村山家), merchants from Noto, ran the posts from 1706 and at their peak were among Japan's richest. Their annual profit was said to be 60,000 ryō.33
    • The Benten Shrine was founded in 1694 and rebuilt by the Murayama in 1816.2
  • Shogunate rule: the shogunate took direct control of Ezo in 1807.31
    • Smallpox epidemics shrank the Ainu workforce, and coercion of Ainu labor grew.31
    • After 1853 Ishikari became the administrative center of western Ezo.31
    • In 1857 contractors cut the Mashike and Gokibiru mountain roads around the coastal cliffs.34
    • In 1858 an official saw oil seeping at Mōrai beach.35
    • In 1859 the Shōnai domain (Yamagata) was ordered to guard Hama-Mashike. It built a jin'ya (military camp) and began farming. It withdrew in 1868.36
  • Meiji settlement:
    • 1871: 29 households (124 people) from Miyagi District, Miyagi, settled at Oyafuru (生振). 39 households (129 people) from Iwate District, then Morioka Prefecture, settled at Banaguro (花畔). Both groups were recruited by the Kaitakushi.37
    • 1871, Atsuta area: about 160 people from Sendai came to Shippu, and 15 households from Shōnai (Yamagata) came to Mōrai.28 Later groups came from Yamaguchi (127 households), Ishikawa (42), Hyōgo (30), the Nanbu region (Iwate and Aomori) and Niigata. Place names such as Hyōgo-dantai, Kaga-no-sawa and Echigo-sawa recall them.38
    • 1885: 20 households from Yamaguchi founded Takaoka (高岡).37
    • 1894: 56 households (320 people) from three districts of Aichi, uprooted by the 1891 Nōbi earthquake, cleared West Oyafuru.39
  • Salmon, cans and oil:
    • The Kaitakushi opened the Ishikari Cannery on 10 October 1877 with American machinery and technician U.S. Treat. It canned salmon, oysters and venison for export.18
    • Salmon hauls of more than a million fish a year were not unusual in Meiji times.2
    • The Ishikari Lighthouse was first lit on 1 January 1892.20
    • The Ishikari oil field was developed from 1903, peaked in 1929 (10,000 kl, 188 wells) and closed in 1960.35 Japanese Wikipedia gives 1962 as the closing year.1
  • Municipalities formed: Atsuta counts 1869 and Hamamasu 1872 as their founding years.89 Ishikari Town and Atsuta Village were created under the second-class town-and-village system in 1902. In 1907 Ishikari merged with Hanakawa and Atsuta with Mōrai Village.128 Farmers at Banaguro first succeeded with paddy rice on sandy soil in 1928.2
  • Herring boom and bust: Atsuta-born fishery owner Satō Matsutarō (1863–1918) came to control most of the 99 fishing grounds between Ishikari and Hamamasu. At the peak he employed up to 2,000 seasonal workers and Ainu.40
    • Herring fishing collapsed after 1955 in Hamamasu. In Atsuta the big catches had already ended after 1949.4138
    • Atsuta's population fell from 6,722 (1950) to 1,638 (2020). Hamamasu's fell from 9,082 (1955) to 1,084 (2020).42

  • Salmon festival history: fishing-cooperative head Yoshida Shigeo started the festival in 1956 to lift the town after poor catches. It paused after the 15th festival in 1970 as salmon runs dwindled, and returned in 1979 once catches recovered.43 It drew 60,000 visitors in FY1984 and 120,000 in FY1998.82
  • Shrines and temples:
    • Ishikari Benten Shrine (石狩弁天社, 1694) is the city's oldest building. Alongside Benzaiten it enshrines "Same-sama" (妙亀法鮫大明神), the deified guardian of the Ishikari River.83
    • The "Same-sama" images at the Benten Shrine and at Kinryū-ji are Hokkaido-designated tangible folk cultural properties.1
    • Ishikari Hachiman Shrine was founded in 1858 by a priest of Hakodate's Hachiman-gū as "guardian of all Ezo."84
  • Letters: merchants of the Nakajima kimono shop founded the haiku circle Ishikari Shōkosha (石狩尚古社) in 1856. Their papers are shown in a private museum in Honchō.85
  • Museums:
    • Ishikari Sand Dune Wind Museum (いしかり砂丘の風資料館) covers river-mouth nature, Jōmon dune life and a hands-on canning corner. Next door is the Meiji-era former Nagano Store, the city's oldest timber-framed stone building.85
    • Hamamasu Folk Museum (はまます郷土資料館) is a restored herring banya (fishermen's lodge) of 1899.41

  • Hokkaido Heritage: the Ishikari River, Salmon Culture, and the Mashike and Gokibiru mountain roads. The roads were selected in November 2018 after volunteers restored them.8634

Ainu heritage
  • Trade on the river: before and during the Edo period the Ishikari basin was Ainu country. The Ishikari trading post began as trade between Matsumae retainers and the Ainu "sō-taishō" (paramount chiefs) of the river basin.31
    • Under the shogunate after 1807, smallpox cut the Ainu population, and forced labor at the fisheries increased.31
    • Ainu later worked alongside migrant laborers at herring grounds such as Satō Matsutarō's.40
  • Yukar country: local history holds that the Ainu epic yukar began in Hamamasu. By legend the hero Poiyaunpe grew up at Bishabetsu.8729
  • Pirikanoka (ピリカノカ): Kogane-yama, whose Ainu name Pinne-tai-or-shipe means "the male mountain rising from the wooded plain," was designated a national Place of Scenic Beauty on 23 July 2009. It is part of a group of landscapes tied to Ainu oral tradition.88
  • Deep continuity: the 4,000-year-old salmon weirs at Momijiyama No. 49 resemble the Ainu teshi weir. A wooden club like the Ainu fish-killing stick suggests similar salmon fishing long before the Ainu period.13
  • People: Ainu activist Tenkawa Keizaburō (天川恵三郎) farmed in Hamamasu.1
  • Facilities: no dedicated Ainu cultural facility was found in the city in the sources consulted. Ainu place names are best explored through the city's "Ishikari File" articles and signage along Route 231. The national Ainu museum Upopoy is in Shiraoi.

Sister & friendship cities
  • Campbell River, British Columbia, Canada: sister city since 24 October 1983. Contacts began in 1982 through salmon, and Campbell River calls itself the "Salmon Capital of the World."113
  • Vanino, Khabarovsk Krai, Russia: sister city since 3 June 1993. Both are Sea of Japan port towns.113
  • Pengzhou, Sichuan, China: sister city since 24 October 2000. The link grew out of ten years of hosting agricultural trainees.113

  • Teine Ward (Sapporo) and Otaru: a "three-city/ward" partnership since 2007, based on their old canal link.1
