Hokkaido island

Hello! How are you?? I talked to you about my trouble in my office. Now I certainly solve the problem. Because I fell so bad, I had forgot my travel in Hokkaido. I want to remind good memory and introduce about it.

Hokkaido is north of Japan. Japan have 4 big islands, Hokkaido, Honshu, Sikoku, Kyushuu. Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto are is Honshu, Honshu is biggest island in Japan.

Hokkaido is big island, but population and economy is not big. Hokkaido remain great and attractive nature.

Hokkaido have indigenous people, name is "Ainu". Japan have 2 kind of ethnic group. one is Japanese, other is Ainu. Ainu is small population, so some stateman belive that Japan is single ethnic group country.

After Honshu Japanese started to emigrate Hokkaido About 150years ago, large Japanese live there and invaded Ainu and Ainu culture. I think Ainu culture have already lost in Japan. Many Ainu people married to Japanese, and mixed to Japanese. Only a few people can speak Ainu language like a native speaker. Some people try to introduce Ainu tradition...

I went to Conveyor belt sushi. We don't need order menu, because sushi food come automatically. Do you know this system?
