Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Consider adding a topic to this template: there are already 3,810 articles in the main category, and specifying|topic= will aid in categorization.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.

Town in Hokkaido, Japan
Hiroo
広尾町
Town
Panorama view of downtown Hiroo and Pacific Ocean, from Maruyama Park
Although cold for its latitude and coastal position, the humid continental climate (KöppenDfb) of Hiroo is moderated by East Asian standards. Summers are cooled by the ocean and cloudy weather, whereas the influence of the Siberian landmass drops temperatures in winter. Due to the ice-free nature of the ocean, Hiroo stays narrowly above freezing during days, whereas nights regularly drop beneath −10 °C (14 °F).
Climate data for Hiroo, Hokkaido (1991−2020 normals, extremes 1958−present)
Hiroo's mascots are Sata-chan (さーたちゃん) and Tree-kun (ツリーくん, Tsurī-kun).[4][5]
Sata-chan is a girl who wanted to become a successor to Santa Claus as she is one of his granddaughters. However, she must know Hiroo first and then various cities/towns/villages and countries. She birthday is October 26 (Ironically, her birthday is six days away from Halloween). She was unveiled in 2013 before becoming one of the mascots of the town on 12 November 2014. She resides in Hiroo Santa Land. She is designed by a first grader at Hiroo Elementary School.
Tree-kun is a Christmas tree. He is unveiled in 1995. He joins Sata-kun to search for Bell-kun (ベルくん, Beru-kun) who is missing for years. He resides in Daimaruyama Forest Park. As Sata-chan's assissant, he is in charge of collecting energy.
Economy
The Port of Tokachi, located in Hiroo, is a major shipping port for the Tokachi area. Customs facilities opened at the port in 1999, and a Marubeni-led consortium opened Hokkaido's largest feed terminal facility at the port in 2010.[1]
Hiroo was connected to Obihiro by rail until 1987, but currently has no rail service. The closest railway stations are Obihiro Station and Samani Station, each of which are two hours away by car or bus.[6]
