Hokkaido
Geography by Sarah
What do people do
on this island?
Some of the biggest special things are
the Sapporo snow festival, Hokkaido shrine festival and Lilac
festival in Odori park. A lot of people make timber. There are
many people who come to visit Sapporo. The main occupations on
Hokkaido are fishing, dairy farming and making wooden things. Two
under- ground shopping centers are very popular in winter months
(Pole Town and Aroura Town.) And in the Suskino area they have
3,000 bars, resturants and over-night inns. In Hokkaido they do
timber, fishing, minning, farming and they find coal.
