It is the capital of Hiyama Subprefecture. One of the oldest towns in Hokkaido, the name Esashi comes from the Ainu word for kombu, a type of edible kelp well known in Japan. It is the birthplace of a folk music tradition called Esashi oiwake. GeographyEsashi is a district and port town located on the western seaboard of Hokkaido on the Assabugawa river, facing the Sea of Japan. Its eastern part is mountainous. The town is bordered by the municipalities of Kaminokuni, Assabu and Otobe. It has a ferry connection to Okushiri island. The rail link was discontinued in 2014; Esashi Station was the terminus of the Esashi Line.[1] Kamome Island in the town is part of Hiyama Prefectural Natural Park. ClimateEsashi has a humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa) with far less snow in winter than elsewhere in Hokkaido due to the influence of the warming tsushima-kairyu ocean current. {{Weather box|width=auto|location = Esashi |single line = Y |metric first = Y |Jan high C = 1.0 |Feb high C = 1.2 |Mar high C = 4.7 |Apr high C = 10.5 |May high C = 14.9 |Jun high C = 18.9 |Jul high C = 22.9 |Aug high C = 25.9 |Sep high C = 22.1 |Oct high C = 16.2 |Nov high C = 9.7 |Dec high C = 4.0 |Jan mean C = -1.4 |Feb mean C = -1.3 |Mar mean C = 1.9 |Apr mean C = 7.1 |May mean C = 11.4 |Jun mean C = 15.5 |Jul mean C = 19.8 |Aug mean C = 22.3 |Sep mean C = 18.6 |Oct mean C = 12.8 |Nov mean C = 6.7 |Dec mean C = 1.4 |Jan low C = -3.9 |Feb low C = -3.9 |Mar low C = -0.9 |Apr low C = 3.7 |May low C = 8.2 |Jun low C = 12.5 |Jul low C = 17.1 |Aug low C = 19.5 |Sep low C = 15.2 |Oct low C = 9.2 |Nov low C = 3.6 |Dec low C = -1.2 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation mm = 98.4 |Feb precipitation mm = 68.7 |Mar precipitation mm = 65.3 |Apr precipitation mm = 83.3 |May precipitation mm = 81.2 |Jun precipitation mm = 79.5 |Jul precipitation mm = 130.9 |Aug precipitation mm = 141.7 |Sep precipitation mm = 149.4 |Oct precipitation mm = 103.5 |Nov precipitation mm = 107.8 |Dec precipitation mm = 99.2 |Jan snow cm = 57 |Feb snow cm = 40 |Mar snow cm = 19 |Apr snow cm = 1 |May snow cm = 0 |Jun snow cm = 0 |Jul snow cm = 0 |Aug snow cm = 0 |Sep snow cm = 0 |Oct snow cm = 0 |Nov snow cm = 6 |Dec snow cm = 30 |Jan humidity = 71 |Feb humidity = 69 |Mar humidity = 68 |Apr humidity = 72 |May humidity = 78 |Jun humidity = 82 |Jul humidity = 84 |Aug humidity = 81 |Sep humidity = 74 |Oct humidity = 69 |Nov humidity = 68 |Dec humidity = 70 |Jan sun = 37.2 |Feb sun = 60.2 |Mar sun = 130.9 |Apr sun = 173.0 |May sun = 181.1 |Jun sun = 163.1 |Jul sun = 149.3 |Aug sun = 165.4 |Sep sun = 166.8 |Oct sun = 147.8 |Nov sun = 69.1 |Dec sun = 34.4 |source 1 = NOAA (1961-1990) [2] }} CultureThe area is home to Esashi Oiwake, a traditional Japanese folk music derived from mago-uta verses from Shinshu which spread throughout Japan during the Edo era and have become an Esashi art form.[3] The district holds a national oiwake convention each September. The oiwake musician 青坂満 comes from Esashi. The ubagami-daijingu dogyo festival, based around the ubagami-daijingu shrine, is celebrated in August. Esashi was the subject of the 1992 single Esashi love-song by Yuka Õne. The town also has a celebrated historical dance: Doba Shishimai. The dance's three acts include a Shinto ritual dance of three fawns, a pestle-swinging dance and a dance of hinds quarreling over a fawn.[4] Esashi has an official sister town, Notogawa (now part of Higashiõmi city) in Shiga prefecture. It also has official friendship status with Suzu city in Ishikawa prefecture. HistoryIn the Edo period, Esashi grew wealthy as a herring fishing town. The town's prosperity coined a saying, "Even Edo is not as busy as Esashi in May" and visitors to the town described the quantity of herring being so great that it turned the color of the sea white. Several Meiji-era residences of those who grew wealthy on the trade are preserved in the town today, including the Sekikawa family country house and the Nakamura family house. The majority of Esashi's historic buildings are located on Esashi Inishie Road. The fisheries failed around the turn of end of the 19th century and the town tried to replace its major industry with tourism. The town advertised itself using the Min'yo classical Japanese folk song, the main part of which was originally from the village of Oiwake in central Japan, but became known as Esashi Oiwake as the town's version gained renown.[5]
