Corn on the Cob

One of Hokkaido's delicacies in this season is corn on the cob.

Boiled corn on the cob is sold at greengrocers and super markets usually until the end of September, and we eat corn as a snack in Hokkaido.

Corn stalls are a popular summer scene of Odori Park in Sapporo, and many tourists as well as the locals enjoy roasted corn on the cob in the park.

Corn on the cob is very simple, but very good summer taste of Hokkaido. Please try one if you have chance. You will find how sweet the fresh corn is!

A boiled corn on the cob is about 150-200 yen.

Seeking Cool Air by Taking Sightseeing Boat

Although Hokkaido’s summer is short and the average temperatures are lower compared with other areas of Japan, many people go and enjoy sea bathing at this time of year.

It can be nice to spend a hot sunny day on one of the nice beaches of Otaru, but how about a boat ride to enjoy the view of spectacular coastline consisting of strange rocks while exposing yourself to the pleasant summer breeze?

Various courses are provided for cruising. For example, if you visit Otaru Aquarium, taking a boat either to or from will add more fun.

Some members of the delegation came to Otaru for the first time, and they enjoyed their stay in their sister city that has many geographical and historical similarities to their city, Dunedin.

They participated in Ushio Dance procession that's the highlight of the festival on the 24th, and enjoyed fireworks display on the 25th
