Sapporo is beautiful in all seasons! But my favorite is Sapporo in winter, a romantic and beautiful city of the northern country!
Hokkaido University was founded in 1876, formerly the Sapporo Agricultural School, is the earliest higher education institution in Japan. In 1918, it was renamed Hokkaido Imperial University. As one of the seven Imperial universities, Hokkaido Imperial University is the fourth Imperial University in Japan.
Even if we go to Hokkaido in the off-season at the end of May, the scenery of Hokkaido University is also beautiful and the architecture is special. You can see parents taking children to walk and play here, and some people sit by the pool and read books. The food in the cafeteria is cheap and delicious. You can come for lunch from Monday to Friday. The first time I went there was Saturday. Later, I picked a day to eat. Because the environment is really good, ~
This time I went to Hokkaido University and wanted to eat and see their central canteen, but 11:30-13:00 The staff was unable to use the meal time, so I took out the spare attractions near the university. The Shinto Shrine is 120 meters away from Dongfeng Station North 13 East Station. The flower hand water club is very good. It is worth a visit.
北海道大学(英语:Hokkaido University;日语平假名:ほっかいどうだいがく),简称北大(ほくだい),是一所本部位于日本北海道札幌市的综合性研究型大学,日本北海道地方最高学府,旧帝国大学之一,是历史最悠久的日本国立大学之一。北海道大学一通大暴走,参观了第二农场,逛到了人工雪诞生地,同时被北大的博物馆惊叹到:三层建筑,记录了历史、诺贝尔奖获奖教授的成果、每个学院的研究亮点,和各类标本。最后享用了北大农场自养牛的牛奶和冰淇淋。累却感觉富足。学校的所有设计都非常人性化,比如每个桌子上都有个充电端口,所以来了这儿我就没用过充电宝。图书馆也超级棒.....简直想整栋搬回我国内的大学。北海道大学有着融合历史与自然于一体的校园,漫步其中,到处可见哈尔榆树、银杏、白杨等大树,所以这里又被称为“榆之校园”。校园里保留有明治时期建校初期的建筑物、绿地、小溪、树林、农场,而具有历史感的各院系所在的建筑,大多数是北欧风格,值得欣赏。环境优美的校园内有知名的白杨木林道,在位于北门通往农学院、理学院的道路两侧耸立着笔挺的白杨木,是校内有名的景致之一。还有美丽的银杏大道,每到秋天金黄一片,漫步其间十分醉人。札幌市内交通便捷,乘坐地下铁在”北18条尺“下车即可到达北海道大学。冬天被白雪覆盖的大学,很安静,每人都平静的走自己的路,当然大雪后自行车无法骑了,车轱辘都深深的埋在雪里,也是很可爱的一景呢!据说,这里还是日本面积最大的大学,占日本国土面积的约570分之一。如此一想,真的很大啊,还是日本太小了呢?
北海道大学也是札幌一处著名景点。
