Hokkaido's Bountiful Harvest: Potato Picking in Koshimizu & More! [Hokkaido Mirai Note (67)]
Once again, we're excited to share three handpicked photos of Hokkaido's stunning scenery, all captured and submitted by you!
Potato Harvest! (Koshimizu Town)

On this clear autumn day, Mount Shari was beautifully visible.
Thinking of the smiles on the faces of those who will eat them makes the hard work of harvesting feel worthwhile.

When you think of Hokkaido's signature crops, potatoes immediately come to mind, and for good reason! 🥔
Enjoying a fluffy steamed potato with butter is a classic, but topping it with *shiokara* (salted fermented seafood) is a uniquely Hokkaido way to eat it!
By the way, the Danshaku potato variety is said to have originated in Hokkaido. It was named 'Danshaku-imo' (Baron potato) after the baron who first introduced it.
Streetlights at the Foot of Nusamai Bridge (Kushiro City)
The streetlights lining the foot of Nusamai Bridge are another wonderful monument that represents the port town of Kushiro.
When you visit, I hope you'll enjoy watching Kushiro at dusk, along with the beautiful sunset.

Nusamai Bridge, located at Kushiro Port, is considered one of Hokkaido's three most famous bridges. It's said that local citizens were involved in its conceptual design from the planning stages.
The streetlights, unique to this port town, seem to be designed in the image of a ship's helm! 🚢
Beloved by its citizens, Nusamai Bridge changes its appearance depending on the time of day, and it also offers different charms with each passing season!
A Horse and a Spiderweb (Hidaka Town)
As you enter the Hidaka region, you'll find a series of racehorse breeding farms lining the roads.
There, you can see affectionate mother and foal pairs relaxing in vast pastures and young horses playfully galloping about.

This photo captures a playful moment, contrasting with the powerful build typical of a racehorse! 📷
The history of horses in Hidaka Town dates back to 1881, when the first private ranch in Hokkaido was established there.
Some ranches in Hidaka Town are open to visitors, so be sure to go see these beautiful animals up close! 👀
