Continue from last post.


Next morning, after having eaten breakfast, we made a round trip of streetcar of Sapporo relaxedly. We able to seen the wonderful scenery of the Sapporo town and also we get to knew about the local people living. According to the resident of Sapporo that by the opening to traffic of the subway or the spread of privately-owned cars, the passenger of the streetcar decreases. The numbers of the route decreased in sequence, too. The Sapporo civic desire not to delete all the streetcar from row of houses along a city street of Sapporo. As a result, only one route of Susuki Yonchoume - will be left.










The end of the streetcar railway is Otori.. Sapporo TV Tower just beside this road. See the url to get more pictures and information. http://www.tv-tower.co.jp/en/index.html
