Hokkaido University
Hokkaido University has a huge campus and an unconstrained space. A location of the ground is accessible on foot from the Sapporo station. The campus is open to the public for tours and walking as well as students or staff do.
While traveling in Sapporo, Hokkaido University was one of the places I really liked. The campus is very large, and as soon as you enter, you feel far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are expansive green spaces and tall trees on both sides, making it very pleasant for a walk. It doesn’t feel nearly as crowded as a typical tourist attraction.
What attracted me most about the campus was its natural scenery, which is full of Hokkaido character. Walking slowly along the paths, you can see wooded areas, lawns, and plants from different seasons. The whole environment feels very relaxed. If you visit in the fall, you can also enjoy scenery filled with golden foliage, and every photo has a wonderful atmosphere.
Hokkaido University has also preserved many historic-looking buildings, which pair especially well with the surrounding natural scenery. As you walk around and take photos, you may find yourself spending quite a while on campus without even realizing it.

LUCKY PIERROT Front of The Hakodate Station store
Lucky Pierrot is a hamburger restaurant in the Donan area (southern Hokkaido area). All 17 stores have different exteriors, each with its theme. The theme of the Front of The Hakodate Station store is "Matisse and Red. The color red, loved by the French painter Henri Matisse, is expressed in the theme, and the restaurant hopes to bring the liveliness and bustle of Hakodate's morning market to its customers.
This time I visited Lucky Pierrot, and what I was looking forward to most was trying one of Hakodate's iconic local burgers. The restaurant has a very distinctive atmosphere, with everything from the sign and decor to the food full of local character. I couldn't stop taking pictures before I even started eating.
When I got the burger, it was bigger than I expected. The patty, fresh vegetables, and sauce created a rich and satisfying combination. The bun was soft, and the toppings had plenty of depth, so it didn't just taste like meat. Every bite was thoroughly enjoyable.
Lucky Pierrot isn't just about eating a burger; it feels more like an essential part of a trip to Hakodate. The restaurant is especially distinctive and completely different from an ordinary fast-food chain. The whole dining experience added a fresh sense of discovery to the trip.

Almond Koka
All of the rich health and beauty benefits of almonds can now be found in a delicious drink you can enjoy easily every day. The rich formula uses whole ingredients like freeze-crushed almonds, almond oil and paste to create a smooth, aromatic taste you’re sure to love.
I recently tried Ezaki Glico's Almond Koka drink. From the first sip, it tasted quite distinctive, with a light almond aroma. It was smooth and not too heavy. I don't usually drink many almond-based beverages, so I was a little curious at first. After trying it, I found the flavor more natural than I expected, and the sweetness was just right.
What I liked most was its rich, smooth texture. The almond aroma gradually unfolds, and it's especially refreshing when served cold. It's a nice little snack drink to have while working or taking a break in the afternoon, and it also feels like an energy boost.
Overall, I think its most distinctive feature is the noticeable almond flavor without being too rich. People who like nuts and almond-based drinks will probably really enjoy it.
