Here used to be the first beer factory "Hokkaido Development Commission Brewery (開拓使麦酒醸造所)" in Japan. The ruins of buildings utilized an old atomosphere were rebeared as one of the largest shopping malls in the Japan. About 7,000,000 people come. Brick Building (レンガ館) has beautiful ivied walls, so superb fall foliage can be enjoyed in an autumn.

SAPPORO

Sapporo (札幌) that about 1,960,000 people live is the largest city in Hokkaido. Although there are various theories, its origin of the name is "Dry Big River (乾いた大きな川)" in Ainu language. A population of the Sapporo is the 4th largest city after Yokohama, Osaka and Nagoya in japan, and the population accounts for 36 % of Hokkaido's population! So the Sapporo has been flourished as the center of the Hokkaido. The area of the Sapporo is 1,121.26 km2, and is about as big as Hong Kong, and is the 7th largest city in the Hokkaido. The Sapporo is also famous as a tourist city, and about 15 million people come. As for a climate, it is hot that temperature rises to nearly 25 degrees in a summer, but it is easy to live without moisture. I always feel a little cool. It is cold that temperature falls to nearly -10 degrees in a winter, and amount of snowfall sometimes has more than 1 m. Article is here

The Sapporo Factory is roughly divided into 7 buildings, the Brick Building, Article 1 Building (1条館), Article 2 Building (2条館), Article 3 Building (3条館), Atrium (アトリウム), Frontier Building (フロンティア館) and Hotel Clubby Sapporo, and there are 160 shops and facilities such as a movie theater, a shopping center, restaurants, cafes, a hotel at the those buildings. I ate an ice cream at ICE CREAM FACTORY, and it was tasty.

ICE CREAM FACTORY

ICE CREAM FACTORY (アイスクリームファクトリー) is an ice cream store at Sapporo Factory (札幌ファクトリー) in Chuo ward, Sapporo city. An ice cream and a soft serve ice cream are sold. A kind of menus are abundant, and there seem to be more than 30 kinds. I visited here around daytime on weekdays. There were a lot of visitors in Bon vacation and 5 preceding visitors lined up. I lined up, too. About 10 minutes later, my turn had come. Article is here

The Sapporo Factory is originally a former brewery, but beer is brewed for sampling at present, too, and tourists can take a look at the facilities and documents. For some reason, Sapporo Shrine (札幌神社) is built at the site, too. There are many places with a characteristic space like an atrium of the colonnade, bricks utilized old building and wooden corridors.

The Brick Building is covered with colored leaves in the autumn, and the state is beautiful, too. Gradations of green and red leaves are very good. The Brick Building is one of best places to see the fall foliage in the Sapporo.

Blog Writer:good! hokkaido!

I am from Nayoro, and used to live in Kushiro and Sapporo, and have been back Hokkaido after I lived in Kanagawa prefecture for 14 years again. Around 50-year-Japanese old boy mainly have released articles that I found nature, tourist attractions, onsen and foods in the Hokkaido to the non-Hokkaido people. I am bad English, so I apologize if you do not understand the meaning. Using photos are my photos, free images, various tourism associations’ photos and photos cited from official websites and so on. Reproduction of my photos and texts from within this site is prohibited.As for my photos, I used to provide those for profit, but I stop providing the photos now. Most of youtube movies belong to others, and I just share those on my blog.
