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).

Limited Express network in Hokkaido
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.
