In the summer, I felt comfortable when I came here, but now in the autumn, I feel cold.

When I came across this house, which is now a museum, I remembered my grandfather. When I was a little kid, I used to visit him and stay with him every summer.

While out on a walk, I noticed some grapes in a garden. They looked ready to be picked and eaten.

I found some autumn crocuses, which means it's already mid-autumn in my town.

This building was once used as a beer factory and is now covered with plants. When you visit Sapporo, it might be one of the must-see attractions.

This is spindle tree fruit. I am enjoying mid-autumn.

This is another store on the shopping street that I posted two days ago.

I found this strange place on the beach. The construction of something—maybe a resort—was stopped and abandoned.

This is a florist on a shopping street. As I grew up on a shopping street, I feel nostalgic for places like this.

This is a real microcar that was made in Japan decades ago. Just compare the size of the car with the people standing around it. Remarkably, you can still legally drive this car today.

It is thundering and lightning here in my town. According to a Japanese folktale, the Thunder God is playing the drums. Lol.

I was very surprised to see that this Jeep had four levers on the floor!

I found this in a playground. Is it an airplane-shaped jungle gym?

This is a police branch building. In Japan, there is a main police station in every city or town, along with many smaller police substations throughout the community. There are always a few police officers stationed there. I think this is one of the reasons why Japan has a relatively low crime rate.

I came across this bike. What is it for? For a rough road, snow road, or just a fashion?

I met another classic micro-car again. It measures just 118 inches long and 51 inches wide. Compared with the man standing next to it, you can really see how tiny it is!

This is a traditional Japanese mansion that was built 103 years ago. It is now a museum. Generally speaking, houses in Hokkaido last for about 30 years. I imagine the annual maintenance costs must be enormous.

There was no wind, and the surface of the river was very calm. It looked as though there were a gigantic mirror beneath the bridge.

They are iron kettles that are works of art and cost $20,000 USD each!!!!

The car isn't powered by gasoline, but by propane gas (LPG).

This red micro‑car is the Subaru 360. When I was in high school, Japan was full of Subaru 360s. It was only 118 inches long and 51 inches wide, with a 22‑cubic‑inch engine, weighing about 900 pounds. It produced 16 horsepower and had a top speed of around 50 miles per hour.

There are some chairs for enjoying the nice view. What a thoughtful idea for seniors like us!

Do you know what these are? Yes, they’re skis that were used more than 200 years ago in Japan. I guess they didn’t slide very well. lol

This is a hut located near a walking path. You can rest here when you get tired.

I took this photo in Sapporo yesterday. You can see vehicles on the ground, and there are many people on the first underground street. Although we can’t see it, there is a subway on the second underground street.

When I first came across it, I thought the grass was covering bricks from an old road. But when I looked more closely, I realized the bricks were placed only in the small section I could see. Is this some kind of art?

This brook was built by hand 160 years ago as an irrigation canal and is located in the center of downtown Sapporo. Nowadays, it is a symbol of the city. In autumn, many salmon come here to spawn.

The dragonfly is on the yellow flower. Is it drinking the flower's nectar? Dragonflies only eat other insects, so it must just be resting on it.

There is a small round pedestrian bridge over a brook. Why is it round? Maybe it’s just for fun. lol

This is a golden, crispy Japanese pork cutlet. When you visit Japan, please try one. Left top: sauce for the pork Middle: sauce for the sliced cabbage Bottom: rice Right top: pickles Bottom: miso soup

This is a stuffed bear. This kind of bear lives on my island, Hokkaido. It is much smaller than a grizzly bear, but it is strong enough to kill us easily. Some people treat bears like teddy bears, but many people say that bears treat us like their food.

I visited these shopping streets. Whenever I walk through them, I feel excited. Just being there makes me happy. There used to be shopping streets like these all over Japan, but now only a few remain.

At first, I thought it was a regular gas station. But when I looked closer, I noticed the word "Hydrogen" on it. Yes, it was a hydrogen fueling station for fuel cell vehicles! It was the first time in my life I had ever seen one.
