Kyōgoku (京極町, Kyōgoku-chō) is a town located in Shiribeshi Subprefecture, Hokkaido, Japan.
Kyōgoku sits at the eastern foot of Mount Yōtei (1,898 kilometres (1,179 mi)), an active stratovolcano volcano which dominates the skyline of the town.
[3][4] The Shiribetsu River (126 kilometres (78 mi)), which emerges from Lake Shikotsu to the south, runs through Kyōgoku between Mount Yotei and the western peaks in the town.
Kyōgoku was given permission to set up an agricultural operation in the area, as part of Kutchan.
The town was formerly a stop on the Japanese National Railways (JR) Iburi Line which ceased operation in 1986.
