From a City of Coal to a City of Creativity, A Journey to Akabira City

Akabira City is about a 1.5 hours drive from Sapporo City, and is well known as being a flourishing town for coal mining. However, in 1994 the last coal mountain was closed, and now, the city is changing into one of production, making a variety of unique things to enjoy. Li Qiang and Isis learn interesting facts and heritage at the Coal Mine Museum and by climbing the coal remains mountain, all the while following their guide Mr. Mikami, who used to be a coal miner in the mines of Akabira himself. At “Yakiniku Takimoto” we warm ourselves up by digging into the specialty hot pot Gan-Gan-Nabe; it produces a lot of strength and vitality, a popular meal among coal miners of the past, with the taste unchanged even today. At Kaban-no-Itagaki, visit the leather craft factory that is highly acclaimed in Hokkaido. There we take on the challenge of making our own original leather key chains with the pro Mr. Itagaki himself, at Akabira Takumi Juku. Learn from the past and make the best new things for the future!
