四季之風 / Shikino-kaze

四季之風（位於余市町）是從道路休息站「Space Apple 余市」開始的休憩步道。是延伸到余市川的堤防上的小路，如同齊名依照季節不同可以觀賞到各式各樣的風景。春天時可以看到整排的櫻花樹和新綠的嫩葉。夏天時可以在綠色小徑上邊散步邊聆聽小鳥鳴叫。對旅行者而言好處是將車子停在道路休息站後，作為短暫休息時可以很輕鬆地散步。

Shikino-kaze (Yoichi Town) is a walking path starting from Space Apple Yoichi, which is the road station in the town. It is located on the banks of the Yoichi River. The name stands for Wind of Four Seasons in English. As this name suggests, visitors can see different views in each season. In spring, the highlight is cherry blossoms, and tender green after winter. In summer, visitors can enjoy walking while listening to birds’ song in the green of nature. This path may be good for travelers because they can park their cars at the road station and they can enjoy a short walk, relaxing after a time on the road.

Assabu

ASSABU（位於厚沢部町）是在國道227號沿線上的道路休息站。厚沢部町是自然生長的檜木林的北方界線和自然生長的冷杉林的南方界線。建築物是使用檜木材所建成的。此外，厚沢部町是馬鈴薯的品種之一-五月女皇的發祥地。除了五月女皇之外，還有很多厚沢部產的蔬菜以及加工食品的商品陳列在這裡。使用五月女皇馬鈴薯來製作的輕食很受歡迎。

Assabu (Assabu Town) is a road station on route 227, which connects Esashi Town and Hakodate City. Assabu Town is a unique place for dendrology in Japan, being the northernmost point for wild Hiba (a kind of cypress) to grow, while also the southernmost point for wild Todomatsu (a kind of pine tree) to grow. The building of this road station uses wood milled from the Hiba tree. Moreover, the May Queen, a potato species, was created in this town, and has become popular throughout Japan. At the shop, products using May Queen and other fresh vegetables are sold. Visitors can eat snacks made from May Queen, too.

滝野靈園 / Makomanai Takino Cemetery

滝野靈園（位於札幌市南區）是以人們聚集的墓地的概念在1981年時開園。頭大佛便成為了觀光景點。此外，也有其他獨特的造景藝術。在入口處排列著20尊智利的復活島毛利雕像，也有模仿英國的環狀巨石陣的巨大造景藝術品。在咖啡廳有頭大佛的相關紀念商品。

Makomanai Takino Cemetery (Sapporo City Minami-ku) opened in 1981, intended to also serve as a park where people could gather. As outlined in a previous article, Hill of the Buddha, this cemetery is also a tourist spot, with other unique features. Imitations of Moai statues, numbering more than 20, are located in a line at the cemetery entrance. They are almost to scale replicas of those on Easter Island. Furthermore, a to scale replica of Stonehenge can be seen near the Hill of the Buddha. At the cafe, visitors can buy souvenirs of the Buddha statue designed by Tadao Ando.

頭大佛 / Hill of the Buddha

頭大佛（位於札幌市南區）是真駒內滝野靈園的象徵。是以公園靈園的概念來製作，至今仍有不少觀光客來訪。頭大佛是從山丘上只看到頭冒出來的設計。春天為新綠，夏天則是薰衣草的紫色，冬天則是被白雪所圍繞。是由世界著名的建築家-安藤忠雄所設計的。山丘上有做禮拜空間也兼設有咖啡廳。

Hill of the Buddha (Sapporo City Minami-ku) is a symbol of Makomanai Takino Cemetery. This cemetery is unique enough on its own, being like a park where people gather, with a lot of tourists visiting there these days. The Buddha statue looks buried, but of course it isn't; rather it's set into a hill. In spring the hill is green, in summer it’s purple on account of the lavender, and in winter it’s white with snow. It was designed by Tadao Ando, a well known architect. Visitors can access the Buddha statue by walking 135 meters through tunnels and looking up the statue. There is a cafe too.

開陽丸 / Kaiyou Maru

開陽丸（位於江差町）是將以前的軍艦重新改裝成博物館（需門票），如果只參觀外觀的話免費。是在1866年時由荷蘭所建造的船艦，現代人將開陽丸修復後停泊在港口。當時是由德川家的將軍所統治的時代。之後迎來了天皇所治理的明治時代。德川家的家臣便奪取了開陽丸並逃亡到北海道。然而抵抗並沒有持續很久，最終開陽丸在江差外海觸礁而沉沒。

Kaiyou Maru (Esashi Town) is a paid historical museum housed in an old battleship. Visitors can of course admire the vessel from outside for free, and also take in the view of the whole harbor. The boat was made in the Netherlands in 1866, but since being renovated has been moored in the harbor. The era when this ship was made was the Edo Period, when the Tokugawa Family governed as Shogun (General in English). Later, the Tokugawa Family ceded political power to the Emperor, seeing the beginning of the Meiji Period. In the early Meiji period, Tokugawa loyalists took this battleship and delivered it to Hokkaido, but the ship was sunk off Esashi Town. 

札幌賽馬場 / Sapporo Racecourse

札幌賽馬場（位於札幌市中央區）是日本10處的日本中央賽馬會的賽馬場之一。歷年從7月末到9月初的6星期期間的每個週六、週日會舉辦比賽。通常需要入場費100日圓，也會有免費入場的日子。北海道以賽馬的產地而有名，伴隨著從本州來牧場參觀，順便也前來札幌賽馬場的旅客也很多。也有公園和飲食專區。

Admission is 100 yen, but is sometimes free on special days, such as the first Sunday of the month and so on. As Hokkaido is famous for breeding racehorses, some fans in Honshu enjoy traveling around horse ranches/studs as well as visiting Sapporo Racecourse. In Hokkaido, Hakodate is the other JRA racecourse.

天之川 / Amanogawa River

天之川（位於上之國町）是流經城鎮中央的清澈河流。義大利出生的基督教傳教士-德·安吉尼斯在風暴中登陸此地。這也是西歐人最早登陸北海道的紀錄。之後傳教士們製作了北海道的地圖。將登陸地點標註上之國的古稱-TSUGA(天河），便成為河川名稱的由來。橋樑上有12星座的浮雕，夜晚的街燈也很美。

Amanogawa River (Kaminokuni Town) is a clean river running through the town. Amanogawa means Milky Way in English. In 1618, Angelis, a Italian Christian missionary, was deposited in the town by a storm. He was the first European person to set foot in Hokkaido. Later, he made a hand-drafted map of Hokkaido. He wrote Tsuga, which is a word that stands for Milky Way, for the point where he first arrived. This is the origin of the name of this river. At the bridge, there are 12 bronze reliefs of constellations, which are beautiful under the lights at night.
