Hokkaido Geography by Sarah

Where do most people live? Why?

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