What to do and see in Sapporo, Hokkaido: The Best Art Museums
Probably best known for its eponymous beer, Sapporo—the capital of Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island—has maintained the youthful and open atmosphere of the 1972 Olympic Winter Games, drawing international visitors for its annual Snow Festival and its world-famous ramen. Those seeking out the full diversity of Japanese cuisine will want to visit: a city with a ramen-inspired theme park is one that embraces and pampers foodies.

Modern Japan has adapted many Western influences, so it not surprising that the art on show is connected to European artkstic movvements such as Impressionism. The art is very good, and serves as a good introduction to Modernism in Japan. Unfortunately, the captions are almost entirely lacking in English. Some of the works are quite beautiful. If you like art, you are likely to enjoy the works on show, despite the lack of translations.
