Summer Trip to Hokkaido(2006)

Day1

I joined Summer Trip to Hokkaido region for International Students from 30th August to 1st September, 2006. (on the year I arrived Japan)

We left Sendai Airport at 9:55 a.m and arrived Shin-Chitose Airport at about 11:05 a.m.
First, we visited the Historical Village of Hokkaido (Near Sapporo). That place is like a large village with full of old houses without people living so that it is an outdoor Museum. Old buildings from about 100 years ago are restored and reproduced there.

Entrance of Historical Village

Lunch at the restaurant of Historical Village of Hokkaido. Lamb meat is famous food in Hokkiado.

After lunch, we went for sightseeing there. We could see many historical houses.

The lamp-post in front of the house can be seen.These are some inner parts of houses.

You can also see their life styles in the house. They are not real human.

Do you see the iron? Although it is in museum of Japan, it is still needed to use in ........

You can have a ride here for going around. The price is 200 yen per person.

Japanese Style Dinner

DAY 3

We visited the Chitose Salmon Museum.
Chitose is the name of the river. A part of that museum was constructed under the Chitose river. So, we had a chance to see some creatures from the under water viewing room.

We are now under the Chitose river.

It is blue...

Then, we had a visit to Northern Horse Park. Since the park is very large, we rented bicycles or small cars for sightseeing. If you like to ride on a horse, you can have a ride there.

These are the statues of the champions in the horse races.

Woo.. This is big and strong horse.We flew back to Sendai Airport and arrived at 6:30pm.
It was wonderful and enjoyable trip.
