Date




Date is near to the Sapporo. It takes an hour half by limited express. You get off the Datemonbetsu station. Also it takes two hours by a car.
There is no fog and it is warm all year around. Persimmon trees have delicious fruit, so it is said that “Date is Warm place of north.” The city has about 38000 people. People can live very comfortably.
There is a covered shopping arcade. This arcade has a Sendai flavor. There is a Kitakogane kitchen midden in Date. At the place, you can experience to dig up and see the ancient dwelling. I think that you will be impressed and surprised.
Moreover, Date Musha festival takes place in summer. Many people and floats dance to music.There are booths. You can see the Yosakoi as you eat grilled chicken, a shaved ice, oden, chocolate banana and so on. There is Usu mountain too. The mountain is active volcano and exploded in 2000. You can see close to the mountain. There are many tourist attractions in Date. Come and see Date if you want to travel.
