We went up the JR tower building in the picture. It was in order to see all over the city from the highest observatory in Sapporo City. The landscape was great. Additionally, I found a unique lavatory that I'll show you below. Do you have any ideas about it. I couldn't use it due to my acrophobia, but I wondered what kind of feeling a man would get there?

We got to Sapporo Clock Tower (http://www15.ocn.ne.jp/~tokeidai/english.html), and found people wearing the uniform of the Subaru Rally Team. They must have been rooters for Subaru. Rally Japan might be a good advertisement for Subaru.
Former Hokkaido government office building.

We enjoyed taking a walk in the park for a while.
One of our members. His shoes hadn't dried out from last night's rain and he felt bad in the shoes. He ended up getting new ones in Sapporo.

I got a half day-off today and I went out for a walk in Sapporo City. I got on the subway train at the nearest station, Makomanai. The first picture is the monument of the Sapporo Olympic Games in 1972 which stood in front of the station. A famous arena was near here, so I thought this arena (http://www.makomanai.com/openstadium/) might have been constructed at the same time as the Olympics.
The weather forecast said that it would be sunny today. The breeze was chilly and I felt like I was in Vancouver, which is one of my favorite places.
The second picture shows us in front of the TV tower, which was one of the sightseeing points in Sapporo, but I don't know why. It's not so high and so beautiful. It might have some historical importance.
