Kitami people are famous for their love of yakiniku! The density of yakiniku restaurants relative to the population is the second highest in Japan (the number of yakiniku restaurants per 10,000 people is the second highest among all cities in Japan), and when you walk the streets at night, the aroma of delicious charcoal-grilled yakiniku meat wafts from everywhere.

The "Severe Cold Barbecue Festival," which was featured on a TV variety show, is where barbecue lovers gather in the freezing cold to feast on delicious meats.

In addition to meat, the city is also blessed with seafood, and is home to the main restaurant of "Conveyor-belt Sushi Triton," which is also located in the Tokyo Skytree. Kitami City is "the Hokkaido" where you can enjoy a wide variety of foods.

Kitami is also famous for curling, and the success of the women's curling team "Rocco Solare" has brought excitement to the city, with many citizens, young and old, enjoying the sport.

2】Blessed location

While the area has become more vibrant with large commercial facilities and restaurant chains moving into the area every year, it is also popular as a teleworking work location for IT companies. One of the reasons for this is its favorable location.

In terms of transportation, the expressway extending to the Kitami area in the east of Hokkaido allows you to reach major cities in Hokkaido (Asahikawa, Obihiro, and Kushiro) within a one-day trip of 2-3 hours each way by car, and the area is within a wide business range.

From Memanbetsu Airport (40 minutes by bus) to Haneda Airport (1 hour and 45 minutes by plane), Tokyo is also within a one-day trip. It is also a good location for companies headquartered in the Kanto area to expand their business and telework.
