    Hokkaido Sapporo-shi Chuo-ku Nakajimakoen 1-17
    This astronomical observatory is managed by the Sapporo Science Center located in Nakajima Park. The observatory uses a 20-centimeter refracting telescope to observe the sun and stars. The telescope can be used to observe the sun during the day and seasonal stars at night (night observation requires an advance application).

    Great little observatory in the park. Explanation is only in Japanese. Nice to check out the telescope. Too bad its only open in daytime.

The 74 cowbells hanging in the entrance lobby are impressive and can actually be rung. The museum exhibits literature that tells the history since its foundation, newspaper articles from the time and manufacturing machines. You can easily learn the steps taken by the Japanese dairy farming in chronological order. If you make a reservation, you can tour the factory and get a taste of dairy products. At Katsugen Shrine, created to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the long hit product ""Katsugen,"" you can pray for success or to pass exams."

Hokkaido Areas

around-area-map

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
