Monbetsu (紋別市; -shi) is a city located in Abashiri, Hokkaido, Japan, on the Sea of Okhotsk.
Most of Monbetsu's economy is dedicated to fishing for cold-water species such as crab.
The crab from Monbetsu is reputably the best in Japan, and is such a source of town pride that a sculpture of a crab claw nearly 10m tall was built down by the waterfront.
In Japan, airports are grouped into three legal classifications.
For instance, following the ANA flight 61 hijacking in July of 1999, the family of a killed pilot were able to sue the Japanese government for compensation because Haneda was classified as a first class airport.
Many third-class airports are small airstrips serving isolated islands of the archipelago.
