Summary
The Hokkaido Oshima Subprefectural Bureau published Genkyou 2026, a comprehensive regional statistics handbook covering southern Hokkaido's economy, industry and community life.
The Hokkaido Oshima Subprefectural Bureau published its annual Genkyou 2026 (Present State of Oshima 2026) regional statistics handbook on March 24, 2026. The handbook consolidates key statistics on population, industry, agriculture, fisheries, tourism and community life for the eight municipalities of the Oshima region including Hakodate.
What happened
The Genkyou series is issued annually and provides a single-volume reference for the region’s baseline statistics, updated with the most recent available data. It is designed to support planners, journalists, researchers and community organizations who need consolidated data on southern Hokkaido without visiting multiple official statistics sources.
Why it matters
The Oshima region includes Hakodate, one of Hokkaido’s most historically significant port cities, and covers eight municipalities with distinct agricultural, fishing and tourism profiles. Consolidated statistics reduce the friction for anyone monitoring the region’s economy or planning investments in it.
