    Hokkaido Sapporoshi Atsubetsu-ku Atsubetsuchou Konopporo 50-1
    The Historical Village of Hokkaido is an outdoor museum which reproduces the frontier days of Hokkaido where you can learn about frontier history. There are four separate areas which are the Farm Village, the Sea Village, the Mountain Village and the City and you can walk through each village to experience the different atmospheres. At the Frontier Village Restaurant in the museum, you can eat the simple but delicious “Imo Mochi” and the restaurant’s original Tondenhei (Settlers’) Set Meal.

    I’m astounded at the amount of effort and dedication it must take to maintain this place. It’s literally a village you can easily get lost in. I went during winter when there was barely anyone (it...

    Hokkaido Sapporoshi Atsubetsu-ku Atsubetsuchuouichijou 5-2-20
    "A science museum located in Atsubetsu Ward, Sapporo City. With a focus on interactive exhibits, here visitors can have fun while learning about science. Appropriately for such a northern location, the museum has a full array of snow- and ice-related exhibits, including a ""Snow Factory"" which recreates the weather conditions resulting in snowfall. The museum's planetarium is also popular and uses a world-class projector to recreate 100 million glittering stars. A fun destination for children, adults, and everyone in between."

    Sapporo science museum is a bit old but well preserve and good place for young kids to learn and play. Unfortunately most information and instruction here are only in japanese. However the staff is...

    Hokkaido Sapporoshi Minami-ku Koganeyu 27
    A center dedicated to indigenous Ainu culture. The concrete exterior walls of the facility are decorated with Ainu patterns. The facility was built so that local residents could learn about Ainu culture and history as well as to pass on and deepen understanding of Ainu culture. Some 300 pieces of traditional Ainu clothing, ritual tools, and items used in daily life are displayed inside the museum. There's also an information corner where you can peruse videos and books. Outside, there are recreations of a traditional Ainu home, grain cellar, and pen used to keep bear cubs.

    Hokkaido Sapporoshi Nishi-ku Heiwaichijou 3
    A Shinto shrine located in Sapporo City's Nishi Ward dedicated to the gods Toyotama-hime no Mikoto and Ugayafukiaezu no Mikoto, and Emperor Ojin. The shrine has been selected by the Sapporo Tourist Association as one of its top five recommended mystical power spots. Toyotama-hime no Mikoto is a goddess of marriage, easy childbirth, and childrearing, and tours for women looking to get married even stop to worship here. It is said that rubbing a Japanese pagoda tree on the left side of the approach to the shrine on the grounds while vowing to get married will bring one luck in finding a suitable match.

    Hokkaido Sapporoshi Toyohira-ku Hitsujigaoka 1 Sapporo Yankegaoka Observatory
    A statue of American professor William Smith Clark, famous in Japan for the phrase, Boys, be ambitious. The professor's statue on the grounds of Hokkaido University was famous, but due to the numerous visitors obstructing campus business, a new statue was erected on the tourist destination of Hitsujigaoka. Today, this statue is now the more famous of the two. Clark's pose, pointing far off into the distance with his outstretched right hand, has become a symbol of Hokkaido tourism.

  • Joon-ji Temple
    Travel / Tourism
    Hokkaido Sapporo-shi Nishi-ku Kotoni 3-jo 6-1-28
    This ancient temple is in Kotoni, where the first military settlers came to Hokkaido in 1875. Most of the settlers who came here to develop Hokkaido were followers of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism, and records say this temple was built to satisfy settlers' calls for a place of worship. The Shourou sanmon gate was built in 1998, and is of a now-rare traditional wooden architectural style. This massive gate rests in a comfortable old residential neighborhood, and seems to have the power to stop everyone passing by in their tracks. This place is famous in Kotoni for the 108 Bell-ringing on New Year's Eve, and anyone who gets a number ticket can ring the bell themselves.

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.
