A view you'll never forget once you've seen it!
Special place: Sapporo Mt. Moiwa Ropeway
From Mt. Moiwa, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the city and the vast nature. The night view from here has been selected as one of the "New Top Three Night Views in Japan" three times in the past. The neon lights that spread out in the clear air are so beautiful that you won't want to blink.
Don't forget to ring the "Bell of Happiness" at the top of the mountain! It's located in the center of Sapporo, so it's easily accessible and there's even a free shuttle bus, so you can easily get there.

"Drinkable cheese fondue"!?
Special "food": Sapporo Cheese House Mero
This is a wine and cheese fondue shop that I was so impressed with the taste that I went to the same shop two days in a row for the first time in my life. It is also known as a "drinkable cheese fondue shop," and the cheese fondue made with fresh vegetables from Hokkaido is exquisite.
Located in a back alley, the stylish restaurant is equipped with private rooms that can accommodate large groups. It's a restaurant that is sure to please anyone you bring.

Like a snowflake
Best "souvenir": Snow Waltz
I am an advertising model for Snow Waltz pearl jewelry. The accessories, which combine pearls and colorful crystals, look like snowflakes. They overturn the concept of jewelry parts and are loved by people of all ages.
These unique designs make them perfect for everyday use, not just for special occasions, and are popular souvenirs both in Japan and overseas.
Domingo presents "That Person's Special Book"
"That Person's Favorite Things" can also be found in "HAC MAGAZINE", an in-flight magazine published every other month by Hokkaido Air System (HAC), the "wings of Hokkaido." It introduces the "favorite things" of wonderful people in Hokkaido, such as local food, places, and souvenirs.
