History
[edit]Ebetsu was settled originally by Japanese people in 1871, who came from theMiyagi PrefectureonHonshu.In 1878,tondenheibegan moving into the area. When theMeiji Government,in 1878, designated Hokkaido as part of Japan, settlers began to flood the area. Ebetsu earned township status in 1916 and city status in 1954. During the 1960s and 1970s, a burgeoning population inSapporocaused the population in Ebetsu to concurrently boom. In 1991, the city reached 100,000 people.
The name Ebetsu is derived from theAinuname of the Chitose River which flows into the Ishikari River in the city. According to John Batchelor in his "An Ainu-English Dictionary" (chapter 1, section V: Place Names Considered) theAinu languagename was E-pet or "humourriver "based on its murky colour.[citation needed]

The northern limits of town are delineated by theIshikari River,the southern sub-city of Oasa by Ebetsu's boundary with Sapporo. It bounds the city limits of Kitahiroshima, Iwamizawa, Nanporo, Tōbetsu, and Shinshinotsu.
Ebetsu is about 16 km from downtownSapporo.It is accessed by the Hokkaido Expressway, by Chūō or JR Hokkaidō bus lines, or by the Asahikawa-Hakodate train line that approximately follows Route 12 through town (at Oasa, Nopporo, Takasago, and Ebetsu stations), joining with the northwest-southeast running main line that extends fromChitose AirporttoSapporo Stationin Shinsapporo (New Sapporo, a district of larger metropolitan Sapporo).
The extensive Nopporo Forest State Park (the world's largest park of virgin forest on level ground) is behind Ebetsu'sRakunō Gakuen University(the first university in Ebetsu, founded in 1949), encompassing 2015 hectares of preserved forest. Because of Ebetsu's location approximately in the middle of theIshikariPlain (Sapporo city is the southwestern extent), it is known for having wind year-round.

Mascot
[edit]
Ebetsu's mascot isEbechun(えべチュン).He is a yellow flightless bird that resembled a young rooster who loves to be petted. His head is unusually square. Because of this, he is nicknamedRenga tori(レンガ điểu).He may looked sad because of his tears (which is his charm point), he is actually happy. Whenever something wonderful happens (e.g. farmers working hard, witnessing children, falling leaves, etc.), he will shed tears for joy. He is known for carrying a grain ear. He likes locally grown wheat. When he was first revealed back in 2011, he was genderless. He is originally an unofficial mascot until it is chosen by the local tourism association to represent the city.[7][8]
