[9] Abashiri is located in the eastern part of Okhotsk Subprefecture, about 50 kilometers east of Kitami.

The climate is humid continental with warm summer (Köppen: Dfb) as much of Hokkaido, similar to the south coast of New England.

Abashiri receives less precipitation than any other city in Japan because its location on the drift ice-affected Sea of Okhotsk,[11] which, however, causes Abashiri to receive less sunshine than the northeast coast since winter snowfall is heavier and fog less confined to the summer months when the Oyashio Current is strongest.

Per Japanese census data,[15] the population of Abashiri has declined in recent decades.

Because of its short 130-day growing season, the crops in the region, such as oats, potatoes, and beans, are required to be hardy.
