The green ellipse means fresh leaves and represents future possibilities. The blue line means a river and endless development of the ward treasuring nature. 

3. Three places as the symbol of Kiyota Ward

 In 2007, the 10th anniversary of the birth of Kiyota Ward, Kiyota Ward decided to regard Mt.Shirahata, the Abashiribetsu River and Hiraoka ume garden as the symbol.

Mt. Shirahata is 321.5 meters in height and located south-west in Kiyota Ward. In this mountain, you can observe animals and plants, see Ariake Falls, try ceramic art and so on.

The Abashiribetsu River is a long and clean river. The public name of the river is the Atsubetsu River, but some people in Kiyota Ward call it the Ashiribetu River because the area in Kiyota Ward was called Ashiribetsu. At the riverbed, you can enjoy walking and golf. 

 Hiraoka ume garden is in Hiraoka park. Hitaoka ume garden had about 1200 ume trees in a large area. In May, you can see red and white ume blossoms there.

Kiyota Ward is a nice place with an abundance of nature. Then let you relax with Kiyota Ward’s nature when you visit Kiyota Ward.
