Travel Diary on May 5, 2016

I got up and went to Nakajima Koen station to ride a train for Makomanai on Sapporo Subway Nanboku Line(South-North Line), which is the only subway in Japan whose viaduct is covered with shelter to protect train systems from snowfall.

After arriving at Makomanai, I ate two rice balls for breakfast to kill the time to wait for bus bound for Takino Suzuran Kyuryo Koen(Takino lily hill park).

On my way to the park, I found graves with statue like Moai

I arrived at the park, but because of its season, I could see no flower.

Otaru is the most famous tourist attration of suburban cities around Sapporo. Despite the fact that I'm a rail fan, I didn't know the existence of Temiya Line. The line was abolished in 1985, but its track is still used for tourist spot.
