July 15, 2021 Major Galusha

Hokkaido (北海道, Hokkaidō, literally "Northern Sea Circuit") (Japanese: [hokkaꜜidoː] ( listen)), formerly known as Ezo, Yezo, Yeso, or Yesso, is the second largest island of Japan, and the largest and northernmost prefecture. The Tsugaru Strait separates Hokkaido from Honshu. The two islands are connected by the undersea railway Seikan Tunnel. The largest city on Hokkaido is its capital, Sapporo, which is also its only ordinance-designated city. About 43 km north of Hokkaido lies Sakhalin Island, Russia, whereas to its east and north-east are the disputed Kuril Islands.

Visited this place and we were just about the only visitors at the time we went and the colours of the leaves were beautiful. We understand that this is a historical place, but we were delighted by the colours and the tranquility. Nice place to spend some quiet time to appreciate its beauty during autumn.

Hokkaido Museum of Northern Peoples

Reviewed By simon_and_emma69 - Workington, United Kingdom

Easy to get to on the bus, this is a must see if you are in Abishiri. We were expecting the museum to focus exclusively on the Ainu, but it covers so much more than that with information about all of the northern peoples in the polar regions. The audio guide is one of the best we've used - just enough information to keep you engaged and yet covers all the displays admirably. Absolutely fantastic.

Hokkaido Museum Morino Charenga

This comprehensive interactive museum goes all the way back to prehistoric times.

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

Hokkaido is one Japan's four main islands, but it was the last to be settled. It still has a touch of the frontier about it. The original inhabitants were the Ainu, an Aboriginal people who have a polynesian background. They are bigger and hairier than most other Japanese. They were hunted mercilessly in days gone by. Many men in Hokkaido have heavy beards, an indicatgion of Ainu inheritance. This museum is very interesting, it's a bit out of the way biut it's well worth a trip.

Sapporo Beer Museum

Reviewed By Bexy1977 - Huddersfield, United Kingdom

A definate on my Sapporo to do list, even though my wife wasn't so keen! We visited on the morning of the Eng v Tonga match in the Rugbh World Cup, so we were there for opening time at 10am. Althohgh there is a bus, we decided to walk from our hotel, which is a nice walk past the old factory also and over the railway line. The museum is really interesting don't waste your money on the full tour. There are well explained exhibitions, interesting pictures and historical items and a wonderful tasting room and a reasonably priced gift shop. I and my wife (who really enjoyed the soft drink in the tasting room) thoroughly enjoyed our couple of hours here and would highly recommend
