Sapporo, the fifth-largest city in Japan by population and the third-largest by geographic area, is best known outside Japan for hosting the 1972 Winter Olympics. In addition, every year it hosts the Sapporo Snow Festival, which draws more than 2 million tourists from around the world; for seven days in February hundreds of beautiful snow statues and ice sculptures line the streets and parks. The city is also home to the famous Sapporo Breweries, and is but a 30 minute train ride from New Chitose Airport.

This is the Canadian Rock Garden sub-area of the botanical gardens (I guess that when the Canadians hear the phrase "rock garden", they primarily think of rocks!) It was unfortunate that the battery in our digital camera picked this moment to die, since the other rock garden in the botanical garden was of the Japanese variety, and was much more worthy of pictures than this barren one!
