Herring fishing has been a thriving industry in Shimamaki Village, Shimamaki District, for a long time. Nowadays, with the addition of fixed net fishing, large amounts of seafood are landed every day. Blessed with an abundant natural environment, the village is focusing on tourism, primarily based on the seafood and scenery. Many households make a living not solely from fishing, but also by running guesthouses in addition to fishing. Shimamaki Village, Shimamaki District, is also home to many hot spring resorts. Senbashirigawa Onsen is an ancient hot spring and a historic location in Hokkaido, often visited by hikers and serving as a gateway to mountain climbing. It is not large enough to be called a hot spring town, but continues to be loved by many as a nostalgic, single-family inn.
