Sapporo at night









Hokkaido is almost a foreign country for me because of its distance from Kyushu.  Hokkaido is very much a new land for Japan because people stated to explore and migrated to there in Meiji period; from 1870.  Before the immigration of Japanese, only Ainu people were living there.

The town and the buildings looked very compact and organized and it was very easy to go around the town.  Because it's cold there you can walk everywhere in the underground path.

「札幌」北海道は明治以降に開拓された新しい土地で、街がモダンだ。道も地下道も合理的に広く動きやすい。地下の広さにも驚いたが、寒い外をわざわざ歩いてみたりした。大通り公園は雪祭りの準備で建設物がたくさんあった。
