Harvesting potatoes! (Koshimizu Town)
A shot while harvesting barons.
On this clear autumn day, Mt. Shari was beautifully visible.
When I think of the smiles on the faces of the people who will eat them, the hard work of harvesting is not so hard.

A word from the Domingo editorial team
Potatoes are one of the representative crops of Hokkaido! It is no exaggeration to say that potatoes are the most representative crop of Hokkaido.
The way to eat potatoes is to put butter or even salted fish on them!
Incidentally, Baron potatoes are said to have originated in Hokkaido. It is said that the name "Baron's potato" came from the name of a potato that was given by a baron.
Street lamps lined up at the foot of the Waimai Bridge (Kushiro City)
The street lights lined up under the Shidemai Bridge are another great monument that represents the port city of Kushiro.
If you come to Kushiro, you can enjoy the sunset and Kushiro's waning light.

A word from the Domingo editorial team
The Shidemai Bridge is located in Kushiro Port and is said to be one of the three most famous bridges in Hokkaido, and the citizens of Kushiro City participated in its creation from the planning stage.
The streetscape, which is unique to the port town, must have been made in the image of a ship's rudder.
The Maimai Bridge, loved by citizens, changes its appearance depending on the time of day, but it can also be enjoyed in different ways during different seasons!
Horse and Spider's Web (Hidaka Town)
As you enter the Hidaka region, you will see a series of racehorse farms along the road.
There, you can see a father and son spending time together in the vast pastureland, and a foal running around happily.

This is a picture of a horse with a strong body like a racehorse, but with a mischievous appearance.
The history of horses in Hidaka Town dates back to 1881, when the town became the first privately owned horse farm in Hokkaido.
I heard that there is a ranch in Hidaka-cho that you can visit, so please take a look at the beautiful figure up close 👀.
