Bear and Deer（１）

  Bear and Deer are typical nature animals. Usually, People think that bear is scary,deer is cute. But in Hokkaido, both of them cause some problem.

  Bear,is called "Higuma", is the strongest animal in Japan. However, he have higher intelligence and know that encountering human is useless.　Bear find us before meeting each other by great nose.

But, nowadays, bear doesn't fear Human.  the hunter is decreasing. Most of people that go to mountain is ordinary and don't have guns exactly. In only occasionally, bear live in near the town descend the mountain and walk around to find food if there are country side.

 Epecially, there are no nuts in Hokkaido mountain.  To our surprise, They arrived at Central department of Sapporo. Sapporo is prefectural capital！！！

 Bear is approaching near the human lives for his foods.

  

Countryside in Hokkaido

  Countryside is different from Sapporo in various things. In short, country side is car society and nature.
  Hokkaido is huge. There is far distance between towns. But train is useless because you have to stand for waiting longtime between train and train. So most of country people depend on car.
  They drive too much. The feeling of them is far from that of other prefecture people. If you say that you drive 60km with your car, people in Tokyo gonna say " You have driven long time!" But Hokkaido people just say "Oh, did you go to the next town?"
  Most of people don't mind little longer drive. That's usual.

Sapporo(2)

  Surely, Sapporo is awesome city but there are some drawback.

 As you know, Sapporo have many snow in winter, those who go to work place with Train must prepare for heavy cold and train delays. Heavy snow makes you irritate and sometimes catch a cold.
 As a matter of fact, I'm angry to them everyday! Disgusting!
 If you want to avoid the disaster,you may live a house near the subway station. Underground is warm and easy to walk. Subway have never been late without
human and mechanical accidents.
 But in general,  most of house which is located in near the subway station is much higher than suburbs.

Sapporo(1)

If you want to live in or stay with Hokkaido, you may choose the city which you live.

There are three type of cities in Hokkaido.

1.Prefectual capital  (Sapporo)
2.MIddle sized cities (Asahikawa, Hakodate,  Obihiro and etc)
3.Country ( Town less than 100,000)

 Daily life in Hokkaido have in common except for Sapporo. Sapporo is special. If you
don't have much money for moving, you may choose Sapporo. There are three reason which I think sapporo is easy to live or stay.
  At first, Transportation and Shopping are great. Main transportation in Sapporo is subway and train. Its a very useful. So you don't have to buy car. If you want to buy something, you gonna get almost what you want to do by walk. But you may think "I can't bring something to heavy!" Don't worry,  You can make use of delivery service
in most shop.
  At second, some people can speak English. Sapporo is famous for Site seeing.
Quite a few people come to Sapporo every day. In addition to this, education level is higher than other Hokkaido towns or cities. Nothing to say, most of Japanese is poor at speaking English. Perhaps, some citizen in Sapporo speak English haltingly (Especially, young ages)
  At third, you enjoy good nature.  In summer time, you may go to BBQ and in winter Sapporo has many ski resorts.
  Sapporo is very fascinate city.
