Enbetsu (遠別町, Enbetsu-chō), also known as Embetsu, is a town located in Rumoi, Hokkaidō, Japan.

The town occupies the drainage basin of the Enbetsu River from its origin on the western slopes of the Teshio Mountains to its mouth at the Sea of Japan.

The town is bisected by the Enbetsu River, which flows from the Teshio Mountains directly into the Sea of Japan.

The small commercial and residential center of the town is located at the mouth of the river on the Sea of Japan.

Enbetsu is home to an onsen hot spring resort, the Asahi Spa in Kotoura.

Major tributaries of the Enbetsu include the Takinosawa, Kumanosawa, Nupuripaomanai, Nupurikeshiomappu, and Rubeshube rivers.

After testing numerous strains from other parts of Honshu, 1921 saw a successful rice crop in Enbetsu, and the start of an agricultural industry in the village.

Younger people from Enbetsu have migrated to work in larger cities in Hokkaido and Honshu, contributing to the depopulation of the town.

[11] Teshio has a mayor-council form of government with a directly elected mayor and a unicameral town council of eight members.

Enbetsu, as part of Rumoi sub-prefecture, contributes one member to the Hokkaidō Prefectural Assembly.

In terms of national politics, the town is part of the Hokkaidō 10th district of the lower house of the Diet of Japan.

Currently, the closest JR Hokkaido train stations accessible from Enbetsu via public transport is located in Horonobe, to the north, and Rumoi, to the south.

The hospital, a municipal facility, was constructed in 1951, and is located in the central Honchō district of the town.
