    ASAHIKAWA Info August 2013 VOL. 201 Published by AIC Also visit us at: http://asahikawaic.jp/en/ August 2013 Compiled by TAKADA Nobuhiro June 19 The town of Ikeda in Tokachi celebrated the 50th anniversary of “Tokachi Wine.” The town close to Obihiro has played a pioneering role in growing grapevines and producing wine among municipalities since the 1960s. The mayor at the time decided to start a winery industry to increase income among farmers and improve the town’s budget balance after the Tokachi Earthquake in 1952 and poor harvests caused by cold weather in 1953 and 1954. June 25 Sapporo District Meteorological Observatory gave a weather forecast for this summer in Hokkaido. According to the forecast, temperatures from July to September will tend to be higher than average, and rainfall will be average in July but lower in August and September than a normal year. However, this summer is unlikely to be as hot as the one in 2010, which had a long period of scorching hot weather. July 7 “Mori no Hanazono” (a flower garden in the woods) opened in Asahigaoka district in the town of Kamikawa. The garden is filled with alpine plants, various roses and local flowers, and also has the “Garden Café” providing specialties such as curry and rice, hot dogs, soft- serve ice cream and more. The 5,000-square-meter flower garden is a part of the 35,000-square-meter “Taisetsu Mori no Garden” (a garden in the woods at the foot of Mt. Taisetsu), which is scheduled to open next spring.

  • Highlights of Hokkaido
    Highlights of Hokkaido The Blue Pond of Biei Your Japan trip at a glance Once the frontier of Japan, the spirit of pioneering still remains in Hokkaido and its people. The island offers a more rustic journey than the bustling metropolises on Honshu. Considered by some to be the most beautiful place in Asia, this itinerary allows you to see this beauty for yourself. Tokyo Home to over 12 million people, the vast metropolis of Japan's capital must be seen to be believed. Tokyo embraces the modern and ancient like no other city on earth and offers something for everyone who wants to delve into the Japanese phenomenon: the towering skyscrapers and frenzied neon of Shinjuku, the pop culture and gadget paradise of Akihabara, the sophisticated chic of Ginza, the biggest and liveliest fish market in the world, the old downtown area of Asakusa, and the tranquil, understated beauty of Meiji Shrine. Not to mention superb restaurants and great bars as well as fabulous shopping and museums befitting the capital of the world's second-largest economy. Hakodate The third largest city after Sapporo and Asahikawa, Hakodate was the first Japanese city to be opened to foreign trade in 1854. This long standing overseas presence is most evident in the Motomachi district, which includes an elaborate Russian Orthodox Church, as well as the ornate British Consulate building, and the old Public Hall. The city is also home to “Goryokaku”, a western style fort, which Samurai rebels took control of, forming the short lived Ezo Republic in 1869. Hakodate’s focal point is its mountain, and the night-time view of the city from the summit is an absolute must for any visitor.
