Kyōgoku (京極町 Kyōgoku-chō ) is a town located in Abuta District, Shiribeshi, Hokkaidō, Japan, at the foot of Mount Yōtei. The town borders the south ward (Minami-ku) of Sapporo, but car traffic from Kyogoku must drive over an hour through the Nakayama Toge mountain pass due to the terrain of the area.
Tourists visit the town to drink the spring water in Fukidashi Park, where the water from Mount Yōtei bubbles out of the ground.
The town has a sister city relationship with the city of Marugame in Kagawa Prefecture.
