在旭川，夏天是慶典的季節；每週夏之季、煙火節目、市集、舞會，一波接著一波。此時街上的庭園式啤酒屋，也是最活絡的時刻，誘人的美食，陶醉的音樂及無盡供應的啤酒

在這些熱鬧的啤酒屋中，肯定會吸引您的目光及許多活動也會讓您期待

在常盤公園裡，不管清晨散步或在陽光下閱讀，都是非常棒的事，從您下塌的旅館，僅需一小段路就可以到達。神楽岡公園則比較遠，也值得您去；在這有較長休閒步道，及上川神社，這裡您可以作較長時間停留，不管是休息，散步、拜拜、禱告或購買名產都非常合適。此外公園沿著溪流的河岸是旭川市民最喜愛的烤肉場所，每逢週末，熱鬧非凡；而每週日則成為澳洲朋友聚會的地方，一邊烤肉，一邊進行板球比賽，假使您不怕害羞，儘管加入他們。

旭川鄰近的城市像富良野、トマム也提供新鮮的活動，如撐竹筏，獨木舟，攀岩、乘坐熱氣球都非常好玩。

夏天，在旭川郊外從事徒步、健行也是熱門的活動，對於旭岳、黒岳山脈的登山步道，是享受徒步旅行及喜愛攝影的人士所津津樂道，只要您準備充沛的體力，您一定能體驗活動的樂趣

還有別忘了一定要去試一試公共澡堂或泡一泡溫泉，尤其在一天勞累後，沒有比這種讓自己放鬆的方法更好

Summer Festivals in Hokkaido

The summer in Hokkaido is very short so everybody wants to enjoy the summer as much as possible. Therefore, there are more festivals during the summer than the winter here.

Here are some tips to make you a Matsuri (festival) expert in Hokkaido.

Matsuri

Matsuri means festival. Usually a festival involves showing a degree of appreciation for something, or celebrating something. Japanese people like to worship just about everything. There is even a festival to celebrate “hell” in Noboribetsu (a small city south of Asahikawa). It sounds a bit extraordinary, but it is nonetheless a festival, and essentially reflects people’s desire to find some excuse to party and have a great time.
