About Naie Town
[Image 5: https://prtimes.jp/i/116574/15/resize/d116574-15-8960d0089a3b6df1981a-3.jpg&s3=116574-15-6be60a8ab639e21008e08f2f1b8c7162-543×362.jpg] It is a town with a population of approximately 5,000 people located in the center of the Sorachi region of Hokkaido (approximately halfway between Sapporo and Asahikawa). National Route 12 (a road that can be called the main artery of Hokkaido with a total length of 156.8 km) runs through the center of the town from north to south, and the 29.2 km stretch from Bibai City through Naie Town to Takikawa City is the longest in Japan. It is a straight road. Naie Town is located exactly in the middle. Even as the population declines, the birthrate declines, and the aging population progresses, we are working to resolve various issues in order to create a “city where everyone can thrive throughout their lives,” where everyone has a purpose in life, a role to play, and can play an active role.
