Known for

  • Edamame. JA Nakasatsunai freezes its edamame within three hours of harvest, in liquid nitrogen at −196°C, and sells it as Sonomama Edamame (そのままえだ豆). The processing plant holds FSSC 22000 food-safety certification. The product won the grand prize of the Japan Agriculture Award in 2016, and "Nakasatsunai-mura edamame" became a registered regional collective trademark in 20181415. It is served in school lunches across Japan and exported overseas159.
  • Rokkatei's art parks. The Hokkaido confectioner Rokkatei runs two sites here. The Rokkatei Art Village Nakasatsunai (六花亭アートヴィレッジ 中札内美術村) is a cluster of small museums in an oak forest. Rokka no Mori (六花の森) is a wildflower garden devoted to Sakamoto Naoyuki, the painter of Rokkatei's flowered wrapping paper1617.
  • Michi-no-Eki Nakasatsunai (道の駅なかさつない). This is the village's main tourist hub and had about 653,000 visitors in fiscal 2024. Its egg vending machine draws people from far away. In the Hokkaido Development Bureau's 2024 roadside-station ranking it came 8th for food1819.
  • The Satsunai River and the Hidaka Mountains. The river has been named Japan's clearest river in 1991, 1993, 1995–97, 1999, 2002, 2005, 2024 and 2025. Its upper reaches lie in the Hidaka-sanmyaku Erimo Tokachi National Park (日高山脈襟裳十勝国立公園), created in 2024 and the largest national park in Japan20. Pyōtan Falls (ピョウタンの滝) is the symbol of the village's riverside park21.
  • Hanabatake Bokujo (花畑牧場). This nationally known tourist farm is run by the entertainer and dairy farmer Tanaka Yoshitake. Its signature product is nama caramel2223.
  • Farm landscapes. Windbreak forests divide the patchwork fields of potatoes, sugar beet, beans and wheat. In 2016 the village joined the Most Beautiful Villages in Japan association, which lists this landscape as one of its registered local assets2418.
  • Hokkaido's most populous village. At the 2025 Census the village had 3,804 people, ahead of Sarabetsu (3,001) and Shinshinotsu (2,734)2. The number of people moving in has exceeded the number moving out every year since 20198.

Municipal history Part of Satsunai Village (幸震村, read Satsunai), created in 1902. That village merged with Urikari (売買村) and Kami-Obihiro (上帯広村) in April 1915 to form Taishō Village (大正村)8. In September 1947 Taishō was split three ways into Taishō, Nakasatsunai and Sarabetsu9. It was the first three-way split of a village in Hokkaido8. Nakasatsunai marks 1 September as its founding day10. It turned down mergers in the 1950s, and in 2004 voted against merging with Obihiro in a referendum1110.
Neighboring municipalities Obihiro, Sarabetsu, Taiki, and across the Hidaka Mountains Shinhidaka and Niikappu108
Symbols Tree: kashiwa oak (カシワ). Flower: lily of the valley (スズラン). Bird: skylark (ヒバリ). All three were chosen in 197710. The emblem was adopted on 28 March 1959. It stylizes the characters 中 and 札内 as a bean field with 11 furrows, one for each year since the split from Taishō, and 11 furrows also made up one tan of field at the time12.
Mascot Pi-tan (ピータン), created in March 1991. It is a chick made from the village's specialties: an egg for its face, beans for its eyes and potatoes for its shoes. It carries a lily of the valley and wears a top hat. The name joins pī (a chick's cheep) and tan from Pyōtan Falls13. A local high-school student designed it. It was chosen along with the catchphrase Yūki-topia Nakasatsunai (ゆうきトピアなかさつない) and the image color "bright green"8.

Name origin
  • Naka-Satsunai, "middle Satsunai." When the railway reached the area in 1929, the new station was called Nakasatsunai because it lay on the middle reaches of the Satsunai River. The village took the station's name when it split from Taishō in 19472510. The draft of the village's 80th-anniversary history gives a slightly different reason: the site lay halfway between Satsunai town (later Taishō, now part of Obihiro) and Kami-Satsunai, "upper Satsunai"8.
  • Satsunai, "dry river." The river's name comes from the Ainu sat-nay (サッナイ), meaning "dry river." The place-name scholar Yamada Hidezō explained that in the dry season the river leaves wide beds of dry gravel. After rain the channel fills, but after a run of fine weather it shrinks to a thin stream26. The village adds that the river looks low because much of its water flows underground through the gravel20. The tourism association writes the Ainu word as Sachinai (サチナイ)27. In the Meiji era the name was written with the characters 幸震, which are also read Satsunai, as in the 1902 village name8.
  • Mountain names. Tokachi-Poroshiri-dake comes from poro-sir, "big mountain"28. Kamuiekuuchikaushi-yama (カムイエクウチカウシ山) is usually translated "the mountain where bears (kamuy) tumble down." The Ainu did not use this name for the peak, which was once called Satsunai-dake. In 1929 a guide working with a Hokkaido University party mistakenly applied the name of a place on the Totsubetsu River to the mountain, and the name stuck29.

History
  • Ainu era and Edo period. Before the Meiji era the Tokachi region was Ainu land, with kotan (villages) across it. The Matsumae domain made the coast its "Tokachi trading post" (トカチ場所)8.
  • 1858. The explorer Matsuura Takeshirō (松浦武四郎) walked inland from the mouth of the Rekifune River in present-day Taiki. He spent a night in an Ainu house in what is now Nishi-Satsunai (西札内)8.
  • 1902. Satsunai Village (幸震村) was created as a Hokkaido second-class village. It also covered the Taishō area of today's Obihiro8.
  • 1905. Kamimaru Yajirō (上丸弥次郎) settled on the bank of the Satsunai River in today's Moto-Taishō. He came from Nakaniikawa District in Toyama and had arrived in Tokachi with the Echizen settler group from Fukui. When he arrived, there were still traces of Ainu houses and of land cleared without permission8. The tourism association dates the start of settlement to this year27.
  • 1906. Maeta Kōzō and five other households crossed the Karikachi Pass and settled in the Moto-Satsunai–Kami-Satsunai area. Mizusaki Giichi and others began clearing Nishi-Satsunai around the Ōinoue farm8.
  • 1912–1916. A road opened from Obihiro to Kami-Satsunai in 1912 and was extended to Taiki in 191610. In 1914 a government post station (駅逓) opened at Kami-Satsunai. A woodworking mill and a match-stick factory arrived the same year, and Kami-Satsunai grew into a busy town with shops, eateries and a clinic8.
  • April 1915. Satsunai, Urikari and Kami-Obihiro villages merged into Taishō Village. Part of it split off as Kawanishi Village in 1924, and part of Makubetsu Village was added in 19268.
  • Where the settlers came from. Most came from Ishikawa, Fukui, Toyama, Shimane and Tokushima, and many gave up in the cold8. In 1917, 25 households from Hiwa Village (日和村) in Ōchi District, Shimane, settled Moto-Sarabetsu (元更別). They brought the Iwami Kagura dance with them (see Culture & festivals)30.
  • 1929. The Japanese National Railways Hiroo Line opened from Obihiro to Nakasatsunai. A town grew around Nakasatsunai Station108.
  • 1943–1947. In 1943, 557 residents of the Nakasatsunai area petitioned to leave Taishō. The war put the plan on hold. In September 1947 Taishō split into three villages89. At the split the new village had 693 households and 4,185 people, and more than 60% of them farmed8. The tourism association gives about 4,400 people and 740 households (1947 census)27.

Geography & climate

Landforms.

  • The village lies in the southwest corner of the Tokachi Plain. It stretches along the Satsunai River, which rises in the central Hidaka Mountains. The Satsunai joins the Totsubetsu River and flows on to the Tokachi River107.
  • Farmland covers 6,937 ha (23.7% of the village) and forest and wild land 18,785 ha (64.2%)7.
  • The town center is about 190 m above sea level and about 28 km from central Obihiro27.
  • The plain was built by the Hidaka Mountains. Around 700,000 years ago the range rose again, and rivers spread gravel into huge alluvial fans, now called the Kōchien gravel beds (光地園礫層). Over time the rivers cut these into terraces. Most of the soil is fine volcanic ash that blew in from the Shikotsu, Tarumae and Eniwa volcanoes. It drains well but holds few nutrients and blows away easily. This is why windbreak forests were planted8.

Mountains and national park.

  • The western part of the village is in the Hidaka-sanmyaku Erimo Tokachi National Park, designated on 25 June 2024. With 245,668 ha of land and 252,177 ha in total, it is the largest national park in Japan. It was Japan's 35th national park and Hokkaido's first new one since 198720.
  • Peaks in the village or on its boundary include Kamuiekuuchikaushi-yama (1,979 m), the second-highest peak in the Hidaka range; Satsunai-dake (1,896 m); Pyramid Peak (1,853 m); Tokachi-Poroshiri-dake (1,846 m); and Koikakushu-Satsunai-dake (1,721 m)1029.
  • Kamuiekuuchikaushi-yama has glacial cirques, including the Hachinosawa cirque on the Tokachi side29.

Rivers, forest and lake.

  • The upper Satsunai has one of the largest groves in Japan of keshō-yanagi (ケショウヤナギ, Chosenia), a willow that survives from the Ice Age20. It was made a Hokkaido natural monument in 1962. In Japan it grows only in Hokkaido and around Kamikōchi8.
  • The river holds Dolly Varden (oshorokoma), rainbow trout and yamabe (the river form of cherry salmon)8.
  • The Satsunai River Dam (札内川ダム) is a concrete gravity dam, completed in 1998. It is used for flood control, hydroelectric power, drinking water and irrigation33. Its reservoir is Tokachi Ryūtan Lake (十勝リュウタン湖)37.
  • Large wildlife includes brown bears and sika deer. The deer damage crops every year. Red-crowned cranes have recently started to appear in the fields8.

Climate. The data are from the Kamisatsunai (上札内) weather station, 1991–2020 normals38.

  • The annual mean temperature is 5.4°C. January averages −8.5°C, with a mean daily low of −15.5°C. August averages 18.5°C, with a mean daily high of 23.2°C.
  • Annual precipitation is 1,216.6 mm. It peaks in August (179.0 mm) and September (194.4 mm).
  • Annual snowfall totals 588 cm, and the average deepest snow is 106 cm. Sunshine totals 1,834 hours a year.
  • Records: high 36.7°C (26 May 2019), low −29.4°C (27 January 2000), deepest snow 163 cm (28 February 1991), and 326 mm of rain in one day (5 August 1981)39.
  • The village is designated a heavy-snow area40.
  • In spring a strong west wind, the Hidaka-oroshi, blows down off the mountains. It is also nicknamed bafun-kaze ("horse-dung wind") because it was strong enough to whip up horse dung. From August to October, typhoon-fed fronts can bring downpours8.
  • Winters are mostly sunny, with the clear skies known as Tokachi-bare (十勝晴れ)27.

Economy & industry

Agriculture.

  • Farming is the base of the economy. JA Nakasatsunai puts the village's gross farm output in 2025 at ¥16.6 billion7. That is up from ¥10.3 billion in 20106.
  • The 2025 figures, in millions of yen, were7:
    • raw milk 5,789
    • pork 2,378
    • potatoes 1,480
    • sugar beet 1,404
    • vegetables (including edamame) 1,147
    • eggs 942
    • broiler chickens 796
    • wheat 715
    • beans 532
    • dairy cattle 685
    • beef cattle 338
  • Crop rotation and manure. Field farming rests on a four-crop rotation of beans, wheat, potatoes and sugar beet. Sugar beet is also used as livestock feed, and the manure goes back onto the fields. A village compost plant opened in 2006 and makes "Poroshiri Genki" compost9.
  • Wheat and beet. The wheat is the Kitahonami variety, mostly used for udon. The sugar beet goes to Nippon Beet Sugar's refinery41. Beet yields passed 85 t/ha in 2024. In fiscal 2023 the JA's wheat and bean growers won the Agriculture Minister's award in the national wheat-growing competition7.
  • The JA. In April 2026 JA Nakasatsunai had 170 full (farming) members and 602 associate members7.

Edamame.

  • In 1983 an edamame crop was grown in a test field, with the pods picked by hand. In 1989, 20 farm households began commercial growing. The main processing plant dates from 1992, and a second plant opened in 20159.
  • The main variety is Ōsode-no-mai (大袖の舞). Sowing is staggered from 1 May to 10 June, each field is ringed by a strip of oats at least 2.4 m wide to stop pesticide drift, and residues are tested three times. Pods from even the farthest field are frozen within three hours of picking15.
  • The plant was the first JA facility in Hokkaido with Hokkaido HACCP certification (2011) and gained FSSC 22000 on 29 October 201915.
  • Exports began in 2005 with the United States, followed by Hong Kong and Dubai. Edamame rice became a hit in Nagasaki school lunches, and schools elsewhere followed9.

Livestock.

  • Some dairy groups have brought in milking and feed-pushing robots. The Nakajima production group started a biogas plant in 20249.
  • The village's branded chicken is Nakasatsunai Inakadori (中札内田舎どり). Eggs come from farms such as GP Farm. Pork is sold under names such as Tokachino Pork9.
  • The village also runs a large public grassland ranch where young dairy cattle are raised9.

Companies. Japanese Wikipedia's list of businesses located in the village includes Rokkatei, Hanabatake Bokujo, Mazda, Oji Container, Tokachino Fromage and Nakasatsunai Tamago10. Hanabatake Bokujo marked its 30th year in 202422. Tokachino Fromage was founded in 200042.

Other sectors.

  • Commerce: between 2016 and 2021 the number of private businesses and workers grew, led by food manufacturing and services9.
  • Forestry: the village has 1,222 ha of planted larch and fir. It plans to start selling J-credits for the carbon its village forests absorb in 20279.

Tourism.

  • Michi-no-Eki Nakasatsunai had 653,000 visitors in fiscal 2024 and 668,643 in fiscal 2023. The village aims to return to the 700,000-plus level it had before COVID18.
  • At the roadside station, winter visitor numbers fall to about a tenth of summer levels18.
  • Satsunai River Park drew 20,913 users in fiscal 202418.
  • The village has signed partnership agreements with Japan Airlines and a company called Sora18.

Population trends.

  • The census count peaked at 5,105 in 1960. The resident register already showed 4,627 in fiscal 1964 and fell below 4,000 in fiscal 1972; the 1975 Census counted 3,8041. From the mid-1980s it held around 4,000 until about 2014, helped by new housing plots and support for families81.
  • On 31 August 2026, 1,215 of the village's 3,775 residents were 65 or older, about 32%1.
  • Most foreign residents are technical trainees in farming and food processing, many from Vietnam and the Philippines8.

Traditions.

  • Iwami Kagura (石見神楽). Shimane settlers at Moto-Sarabetsu set up a kagura group in 1923, using costumes and masks ordered from Shimane. The costumes were stolen after the war, and the dance was later revived. It was made a village intangible cultural property on 29 June 196230.
    • The dance lapsed in the Shōwa 40s (1965–74), when the first settlers died and farm families left. A preservation society was formed in 1984, and from 1987 the Hiwa kagura troupe from Shimane (now Ōnan Town) came to teach it.
    • The society now teaches children at Kami-Satsunai Elementary School, who perform the Yamata-no-Orochi serpent dance at school events every other year30.
  • Former Sugimura Farm Silo (旧杉村農場サイロ, 共栄東3線). Sugimura Kichinosuke introduced dairy farming to the village. In 1930 he built this 10.3 m silo from L-shaped concrete blocks he had patented himself. It became a village tangible cultural property in 198430.
  • Poroshiri Taiko (ポロシリ太鼓). The drumming group performs at the Yamabe festival54.
  • Flowers. Residents' groups began planting flowers along the main street and at public buildings in the Shōwa 50s (1975–84), and the "flower village" became part of the village's identity24.

Museums. The Bean Museum and Pioneer Memorial Hall are at the roadside station60. The Rokkatei galleries and the Mountain Center exhibition are described under Sights & activities161721.

Ainu heritage

Little is written down about Ainu life inside the present village. What remains is mostly in place names and a few records.

  • Place names. Satsunai (sat-nay, "dry river") and Tokachi-Poroshiri (poro-sir, "big mountain") are Ainu names. Kamuiekuuchikaushi, the mountain name, was taken from a place name only in 1929262829.
    • Before a 1986 address reform, several districts had katakana names such as ヌプカクシュナイ (Nupukakushunai) and ヌーナイ (Nūnai), which were replaced by new names10. They look Ainu in origin, but their meanings are unverified.
  • Tokachi-Poroshiri-dake (十勝幌尻岳). Obihiro's Ainu held this peak sacred as a mountain where kamuy (gods) played, and no one climbed it. On 19 September 2012 it became the eighth part of the national Place of Scenic Beauty Pirika Noka (ピㇼカノカ, "beautiful shapes"). The group was created in 2009 to protect landscapes linked to Ainu stories, prayer sites and place names2861.
    • An information board about the mountain is on the top floor of the Ippon-yama Observation Tower in Nishi-Satsunai28.
  • Records of the 1850s–1900s. In 1858 Matsuura Takeshirō stayed in an Ainu home in present-day Nishi-Satsunai. A stone carved with a poem he wrote there stands in Nishi-Satsunai Sakura Park (西札内桜公園). The first Japanese settler, in 1905, found traces of Ainu houses along the Satsunai River8.
  • No Ainu cultural facility or living Ainu association was found in the village.

Sister & friendship cities
  • Kawagoe, Saitama (埼玉県川越市): friendship city since 30 November 2002. Ties began when the museum of the painter Aihara Kyūichirō, an honorary citizen of Kawagoe, opened in the Art Village on 8 August 1996. Every August, middle-school students from Kawagoe visit on the "Kawagoe Shōnen no Tsubasa" program, and the two places also exchange paintings31.
  • Nanto, Toyama (富山県南砺市, formerly Fukuno Town 福野町): sister-city pledge with Fukuno on 3 November 1993, now listed as an "exchange city" (交流都市)10. The draft village history lists Nanto (Fukuno) among the village's exchange partners81. The village's current friendship-city page lists only Kawagoe31.
  • No international sister city was found.

Notable people
  • Ishizawa Shiho (石澤志穂, b. 1986): long-distance speed skater from the village. She raced at the 2010 Vancouver and 2014 Sochi Olympics8240.
  • Oshigiri Misaki (押切美沙紀, b. 1992): speed skater from the village. She won a national middle-school title at Nakasatsunai Junior High and raced at the 2014 Sochi and 2018 PyeongChang Olympics83.
  • Ōta Ichirō (太田一良): the first mayor chosen by popular vote and the first from a farming background. He served six terms, 24 years in all, from 1957, the longest of any mayor. He was named an honorary villager in 198411.
  • Tanaka Yoshitake (田中義剛): entertainer and dairy farmer, head of Hanabatake Bokujo in the village22.
  • Mano Masami (真野正美): painter living in the village. He took over from Sakamoto Naoyuki as cover artist of the children's poetry magazine Sairo, and has his own gallery in the Art Village16.
