If you like retro Western facilities, this is a must-visit tourist spot in Sapporo. That's "Toyoheikan." It was the only hotel built by the Meiji government during the development of Hokkaido, and was a historic place that first welcomed the emperor. After that, it was used as a public hall, and after the war it was moved to the current Nakajima Park. After relocation, it was used as a wedding hall and was very popular. In 1964, it was designated an Important Cultural Property and is currently used as a facility for attracting visitors and interacting with visitors. The highlights are the stairs and curtains in the lobby. The beauty of the curves of the stairs and the decorations show that they were finished with high skill. ✨ The curtains feature the traditional Japanese design of "peony arabesque," and the Western-style fabric used is said to have been woven in Nishijin, Kyoto, where domestic production had finally succeeded at the time. This was truly beautiful. Please stop by when you are sightseeing in Sapporo. ~~~~~~Information~~~~~~ 📍Toyohirakan Address: 1-20 Nakajima Park, Chuo-ku, Sapporo Access: 5 minutes on foot from Nakajima Park Station Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 Fee: 300 yen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #Domestic travel record #Domestic travel

Today, as usual, let's go to a different place to continue viewing the cherry blossoms. Yesterday, I saw the stunning cherry blossom rain, and it felt totally worth it. In the past, I would plan for three to five days, then check those cherry blossom forecast maps every day, asking friends and colleagues about it. But in the end, they were never accurate, right? If you really want to see them, just cover the entire blooming period and stay for a month. How could you not see them? It's impossible, right? Then there's the hassle of deciding where to go, how many days to stay here and there. From Osaka to Tokyo, then to Hokkaido, traveling across Japan. I refuse to believe I won't see them all!
