    Hokkaido Shari-gun Sharicho Asahimachi 11-2
    "This private art museum, marked by its western exterior, is about a five-minute drive from Shiretoko-Shari Station. It exhibits pages from the mountain culture magazine ALP taken from 25 years of its run from 1959. From its inception, ALP was dedicated solely to the idea of ""glorifying nature,"" and through the cooperation of countless nature lovers became a highly spiritual magazine. This museum was founded in 1992 to commemorate the spirit of ALP, and serve as a place to soothe hearts harmed by the modern age. The two-story building exhibits roughly 50,000 pieces, including essential articles that moved readers nationwide, original manuscripts, pictures, and more."

    わかりにくい場所ですがしゃれた建物です。冬季間は休館中なので折角出向いても入れませんのであしからず。

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.
