	Hokkaido Travel Guide
		Hokkaido is the second largest, northernmost and least developed of Japan's four main islands.
		Hokkaido's weather is harsh in winter with lots of snowfall, below zero temperatures and frozen seas, while in summer, it does not get as hot and humid as in the other parts of the country.
		With its unspoiled nature, Hokkaido attracts many outdoor lovers, including skiers and snowboarders in the colder seasons and hikers, cyclists and campers from June to September.

	Sapporo, Hokkaido - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1868 (the officially recognised year celebrated as the 'birth' of Sapporo), the new Meiji government concluded that the existing administrative center of Hokkaido, which at the time was the port of Hakodate was in an unsuitable location for the defense and further development of the island.
		During 1870-71, Kiyotaka Kuroda, vice-chairman of the Hokkaido Development Commission (kaitakushi) approached the American government for assistance in developing the land resulting in Horace Capron, Secretary of Agriculture under President Ulysses S. Grant being appointed as a special advisor to the commission.
		The continuing expansion of the Japanese into Hokkaido continued, mainly due to migration from the main island of Honshu immediately to the south, and the prosperity of Hokkaido and particularly its capital grew to the point that the Development Commission was deemed uneccessary and was abolished in 1882.

	Breeds of Livestock - Hokkaido Horse (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Hokkaido horse is thought to have been brought during the Edo era (1600-1867) to Hokkaido by fishermen.
		The Hokkaido horse is considered a descendant of the Nanbu horse, a breed which is thought to have been bred in Tohoku, the northern region of Honshu.
		This is because the Nanbu horse was historically renowned as a military horse and was heavily crossbred during the late 19th century to develop a larger breed suitable for modern military.
