Salmon are running upstream! You can ? observe it up close at "Totorodo" Salmon are born in rivers, grow large in the sea, and eventually return up their hometown rivers. Fry recovered from their eggs in rivers descend to the sea in spring with melted snow, and travel back and forth between the Bering Sea in summer and the Gulf of Alaska in winter. Almost four years later, the mature salmon migrate south from the Bering Sea along the Kuril Islands, returning to their hometown rivers to spawn from September to November.

Sapporo Summer Festival The "Sapporo Summer Festival" was held at Odori Park from the mountain day on August 11 to August 16.
