Sheep on a Hill - 羊ヶ丘


今日で2回目この羊ヶ丘に行きました。けど、今回、初めてわかったのは実際にこの丘の上に羊が飼われていることだ!良いなぁ、この羊たちが毎日この素敵な全景が見えるなんて!羊ヶ丘にクラーク博士の銅像があって、雪祭りの博物館もあります。すごく興味深いところで、展望台も素晴らしいです。札幌に来る際はぜひ、羊ヶ丘に行ってください!


Today I went to Hitsuji Ga Oka (Sheep Hill) with my mom. Last time I came with my friends, it was really rainy out and we didn't spend much time outdoors. This time, though, despite it being a little cool, me and mom got to see a splendid view of Sapporo, and we also checked out the sheep (yes, Sheep Hill has sheep grazing it) and looked through the Snow Festival Museum. Overall it was a great day, capped off with some famous Hokkaido soft serve ice cream! If you ever come to Sapporo, you must check out Hitsuji Ga Oka!

Yeah, that's William S. Clark. He was a missionary here and his "Boys be ambitious" speech is famous all across Japan. In fact his original words were "Boys be ambitious for Christ." Everyone in that graduating class became a Christian!
