Early Summer on the Ishikari Coastline

Our stage this time is Ishikari, a city located next to Sapporo which is the largest city in Hokkaido Prefecture. Here, sandy beaches, forests and grasslands stretch about 25 kilometers along the Sea of Japan. The coastline of Ishikari provides one of the largest colonies of coastal plants. Our program host experiences trekking on horseback and enjoys the flowers that bloom in early summer. He also has the exhilarating experience of riding a horse into the water. Later, we show you footage of some wildlife including wild birds raising their young on the coastline of Ishikari.
