OBIHIRO GENERAL
Obihiro StatueObihiro is located approximately three and a half hours (3.5 hrs) drive east of Sapporo City. There are some places to visit in the city itself and because of its location almost in the middle of the Tokachi Sub-Prefecture, the city makes an excellent base from which to explore central parts of the Eastern Hokkaido areas. As of 2003 Obihiro has an estimated population of 171 557 and a total area of 619 km2. The city was founded on April 1, 1883 and is now a major agricultural and animal breeding area. The headquarters of several of Japan’s leading sweet and dairy product producers as well as the Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine which was established in 1949 are located here. Obihiro is also home to Hokkaido’s Hot Air Balloon Festival held during the summer.
