Hokkaido Geography by Amanda

Where do most people live? Why?

The first people living in Hokkaido were the Ainu. The Japanese defeated the Ainu by the Takida family. The Takida family was ruling Hokkaido. A lot of people live in Sapporo, the biggest city. Most people don't live in Hokkaido because the winter months are very cold. In Sapporo there is lots of flatland and it is by the ocean , so lots of people can live in Sapporo. That makes it easier to live in Sapporo , so that's why it's the biggest city.
