    Strolling along Hokkaido University's famous ginkgo avenue, the tall, lush ginkgo trees on both sides glow a dazzling golden yellow in the autumn sunlight. The entire tree-lined avenue seems to be wrapped in a brilliant golden tunnel, creating a magnificent view so beautiful it takes your breath away.

    Looking up, the translucent golden fan-shaped leaves complement the clear blue sky. When a gentle breeze blows, the fallen leaves dance gracefully through the air, while the path underfoot is already covered with a thick, soft carpet of yellow leaves that rustles with every step. Tourists from all over and students out for a walk gather around, taking out their phones to capture this once-a-year scenery. The air is filled with a lively and joyful autumn atmosphere.

    However, late autumn in Hokkaido is quite cold, and the chilly wind blows straight up your sleeves, making you shiver. Be sure to wear a thick coat and stay warm while walking around and taking photos, so you can fully enjoy the stunning, dreamlike beauty of this golden avenue despite the cold.

    While traveling in Sapporo, Hokkaido University was one of the places I really liked. The campus is very large, and as soon as you enter, you feel far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are expansive green spaces and tall trees on both sides, making it very pleasant for a walk. It doesn’t feel nearly as crowded as a typical tourist attraction.

    What attracted me most about the campus was its natural scenery, which is full of Hokkaido character. Walking slowly along the paths, you can see wooded areas, lawns, and plants from different seasons. The whole environment feels very relaxed. If you visit in the fall, you can also enjoy scenery filled with golden foliage, and every photo has a wonderful atmosphere.

    Hokkaido University has also preserved many historic-looking buildings, which pair especially well with the surrounding natural scenery. As you walk around and take photos, you may find yourself spending quite a while on campus without even realizing it.

    Hokkaido University is a comfortable and relaxing place. The spacious campus is lush with greenery. As you slowly stroll along the tree-lined paths, the tall trees and historic buildings on both sides complement each other, making you forget for a moment that you're in a bustling city.

    The pace on campus is leisurely and peaceful. Occasionally, you can see students riding bicycles, which also gives you a sense of how nature and everyday life blend together in Sapporo. Walking around the campus without any particular itinerary makes it even easier to enjoy a rare moment of relaxation during the trip.

    Hokkaido University really is much bigger than I imagined. Once inside the campus, all I could see were vast stretches of greenery and towering trees. It felt so spacious, as if I could walk forever without reaching the end.

    The scenery changes with each season: cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, the much-anticipated golden ginkgo trees in fall, and romantic snow-covered scenery in winter.

    Although I didn't visit during the season for the famous ginkgo avenue, I still really enjoyed strolling slowly around the campus, looking at the old, lush trees, feeling the pleasant breeze, and taking in the quiet, relaxed atmosphere.
