Geography[edit]

The mountains dominate the west and north while the plains dominate around five km within the coastline.

Origin of name[edit]

The name, Noboribetsu, derives from an Ainu word, nupur-pet, which means dark-colored river; the kanji 登別, meaning "climbing different", are used for their phonetic value only, and have no relation to the original meaning.
