The 10 Best History Museums in Sapporo, Hokkaido

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.

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 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.
