Study in japan ?
Hokkaido University is a leading national university of Japan. It is considered as a member of the National Seven Universities. It is situated in downtown Sapporo, just north of Sapporo Station, and stretching approximately 2.4 kilometers northward.
Hokkaido University (Hokudai for short) was originally founded in 1876 as Sapporo Agricultural College by William S. Clark with the help of five faculty members and a first class size of 24 students. It became Hokkaido Imperial University on April 1, 1918, during the Taisho period. It was one of nine Imperial Universities. The School of Medicine was established in 1919, at which time the Agricultural College became the Faculty of 
Agriculture. This was followed by the Faculty of Engineering, the Faculty of Science, and finally in 1947, the Faculty of Law and Literature. The current name of Hokkaido University also came into use in 1947. In 1953, the Graduate School was established.

Since 2004 the university has been incorporated as a National University Corporation under a new law which applies to all national universities. Although the incorporation has led to increased financial independence and autonomy, Hokkaido University is still partially controlled by the Japanese Ministry of Education.
Hokkaido University, Faculties: Letters, Education, Law, Economics, Medicine, Dental Medicine, Engineering, Veterinary Medicine, Fisheries Sciences, Agriculture, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Science.
Sapporo Campus
The main Sapporo campus is located just north of Sapporo Station, and holds every programs available in Hokkaido University except its Faculty of Fisheries Science, and also Graduate School of Fisheries Science.
Hakodate Campus
The campus is located in Hakodate, the city located in southern part of Hokkaidō. Faculty and Graduate School of Fisheries Science are practiced in this campus. However, the students of Fisheries Science start their education in Hakodate campus from the second semester of their sophomore year, due to the fact that it is required for all freshmen and sophomores at their first semester to take courses in liberal arts at Sapporo campus.
find Ramen at sapporo
Sapporo is known as the birthplace of Miso Ramen, a ramen noodle using miso, and Sapporo Ramen is also widely known. The Kouraku Ramen Meitengai, an alley lined with many ramen restaurants, was established in 1951 in Susukino district, and after its demolition due to plans for the Sapporo Olympics, the Ganso Sapporo Ramen Yokocho was established in the same place. It currently attracts many tourists throughout the year. From the year 1966, a food company named Sanyo Foods began to sell instant ramens under the brand name "Sapporo Ichiban". In 2001, Sapporo Ramen was listed as one of the Hokkaido Heritage along with other ramens in Hokkaido such as Asahikawa Ramen and Hakodate Ramen. On October 1, 2004, The Sapporo Ramen Republic, a theme park focused on rāmens, was opened at the 10th floor of the Sapporo ESTA, a commercial complex located in front of the Sapporo Station.
Soup Curry, a liquid curry with vegetables and rice, is also one of the specialties in Sapporo, and currently plenty of soup curry restaurants are located in the cities and towns in Hokkaido. Sapporo Sweets, a confectionery using many ingredients from Hokkaido, is also popular, and the Sapporo Sweets Competition is held annually.
A lamb barbecue style dish called jingisukan (named for Ghengis Khan) is another popular local specialty.
Sapporo is also famed for fresh seafood, salmon, sea urchin and crab in particular. It is also noted for Haskup, a local variety of blueberry.

History of Sapporo, And visit to this City, and finds the accomodation
a history of snow, water and alluvial fan
... At the centre of Sapporo, the City Hall and the Sapporo Station are located at the end of an alluvial fan, at 20m above sea level, while the Salmon Museum, in Makomanai, is at an altitude of 80m. The distance between the two places is about 8 kilometres. The total superficy of the alluvial fan is approximately 20 square kilometres.
The central part of Sapporo was formed 6,000 years before by the deposit of earth carried by the Toyohira River from Jozankei and was frequently flooded in the 19th century, when the river banks were not built yet. There is abundant ground water away from the riverbed, due to the river underflows. Since there is no need to dig deep wells to draw an high quality water, life is easy on this fertile land, which was used for agriculture, including the culture of fruit trees.
The place where the Sapporo Station and the Odori Park are located is the connection between the end of the alluvial fan and the beginning of a floodplain, the Ishikari Plain. There used to be lots of springs in this area which was called Memu by Ainus, the first inhabitants. Even now, the pounds of the Former Hokkaido Government Office, of the Hokkaido Governor's Official Residence, of the Hokkaido University Botanic Garden, the Sakushu Kotani River of Hokkaido University, the Sapporo Beer Factory or the Yukijirushi milk factory are the remains of those ancient springs.
The water drawn from a well situated 150m under Tancho Warehouse (the Sapporo Chitosetsuru sake factory) and which is used to brew this sake, also comes from the underflows of the Toyohira River. Permeating into the ground during several years, it gets a perfect balance in minerals, and that is why it is often said: "we will not leave this place while we can drink this water."
Ainus settled in a village (kotan) near the Memu where we can easily imagine a great number of salmons ascending the river towards the springs. Salmon is called kamuiciepu (fish of god) in Ainu language. Even now there are still salmons in the Toyohira River, laying eggs between Higashi Bashi (same altitude as the Sapporo Station) and Horohira Bashi (above Odori Park, Tancho Warehouse, Susukino, Nakajima Park). Right in the middle of a two million people city. Water is essential for humans and salmons.
The statue named Izumi depicts three symbolic dancers in Odori Park and is obviously a reference to the Memu (springs). As its sculptor, Shin Hongo (1905-1980), native of Sapporo, puts it: "at the beginning, I did not intend to sculpt dancers; I wanted something that would hold the sky from the ground, I wanted to make the clouds and the wind play together, I wanted to call the snow and the rain".
According to Hideo Yamazo (1899-1992) who carried out research on Ainu place-names, the Toyohira River was called Sapporobet (sa = dry, poro = big, bet = river) by Ainus, a name that suits this river that runs in the alluvial fan. There is a lot of rivers around Sapporo and Sapporobet is the biggest. Thus we can easily understand the name "big". As for "dry", since a river that runs across an alluvial fan always splits, its quantity of water tends to decrease, or since during summer time, rain rate is low, the size of the riverbed is dramatically reduced so that the stones at the bottom of the river appears. We can also assume that the name of the river points at the numerous traces of dry rivers in the alluvial fan.
Sapporo is the fifth-largest city in Japan by population. It is the capital of Hokkaidō Prefecture, located in Ishikari Subprefecture, and an ordinance-designated city of Japan.
Sapporo City is best known outside Japan for hosting the 1972 Winter Olympics, the first ever held in Asia, and for the annual Yuki Matsuri in the city, internationally referred to as the Sapporo Snow Festival, which draws more than 2 million tourists from around the world. The city is also home to the eponymous Sapporo Brewery.
Sapporo tity has ten wards
Atsubetsu-ku , Chuo-ku, Higashi-ku, Kita-ku, Kiyota-ku, Minami-ku, Nishi-ku, Shiroishi-ku, Teine-ku, Toyohira-ku.
Sapporo Climate
Sapporo has a humid continental climate (Koppen Dfa), with a wide range of temperature between the summer and winter. Summers are generally hot but not humid, and winters quite cold and snowy. It snows a lot in winter, enabling it to hold events and festivals with snow statues and objects. Boasting 630 cm (248 inches) on average , it is one of the few metropolises in the world with such heavy snowfall. The city's annual average precipitation is around 1,100 mm (43 inches), and the mean annual temperature is 8.5°C (47°F).
