Matsumae Town, Matsumae District, is home to Matsumae Castle. It is the economic and cultural center of Hokkaido, and the entire town is working hard to revitalize the region. In spring, many cherry blossoms bloom around Matsumae Castle. Matsumae Town, Matsumae District, is located in an area susceptible to the Tsushima Current, and is characterized by a warm climate and light snowfall compared to Hokkaido, which is known for its heavy snowfall. Taking advantage of this warm climate, the town cultivates plants that only grow in warm regions, such as camellias. This area is also a breeding ground for the Streaked Shearwater, which has been designated a natural monument. While firmly preserving its ancient traditions, the town contributes not only to the town itself but also to the development of the entire prefecture.
