Austria is 1.09× the size of Hokkaidō

Austria (country) covers about 84,000 km² (32,400 mi²) and Hokkaidō (island) about 77,100 km² (29,800 mi²). Below, both outlines are drawn at one scale and centred on each other. The Hokkaidō outline is Natural Earth’s, checked against the published area.

What fits

Hokkaidō is 92% of the size of Austria.
Austria is larger by 6,880 km² (2,660 mi²), which is 8.9% of the area of Hokkaidō.
Measured in Belgiums: Austria is about 2.74, Hokkaidō about 2.51.

How they differ

Their centres are about 8,710 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Austria at 48°N is drawn about 2.2× too large and Hokkaidō at 43°N about 1.9×, so the map shows Austria as 1.27× the size of Hokkaidō instead of 1.09×.
Together Austria and Hokkaidō cover 161,000 km², close to the size of Tunisia (157,000 km², 2.8% smaller).
The gap between them, 6,880 km², is about the size of Palestine (6,070 km²).
Austria's centre is 4.2° of latitude, about 470 km, farther north than Hokkaidō's.
Austria ranks 115th of 212 countries by area.
Hokkaidō is an island and ranks 20th of the 81 islands on sizeversus by area.
Laid out flat, Austria stretches about 293 km north to south and 572 km east to west; Hokkaidō about 452 km by 488 km.
Wikidata’s published figure of 78,000 km² agrees with our measured 77,100 km², to within 2%.

Published figures: Wikidata (CC0). A lake or a sea has no legal boundary: the measured area is that of Natural Earth’s outline, and it is shown beside the published one.

Natural Earth’s outlines of Japan contain or lie within 4 km of the outline of Hokkaidō. That is what its geometry says, and it is not a statement about who owns the water or where any border runs in it.

Sources and method

Outlines: Lakes and seas: Natural Earth 1:10m physical vectors (public domain), kept only where the measured area is within 10% of the published one. Countries and regions: Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 0 and Admin 1, public domain.
Boundary: De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth. A lake or a sea has no legal boundary of its own; the outline is a cartographic one.
Area: Measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines, shown rounded. The published figure comes from Wikidata (CC0), fetched 2026-11-11, and is shown beside the measured one.
Drawing: Each outline is projected with an equal-area projection centred on its own centroid, so areas stay true and the two can be laid over each other.
