    Niseko would be a 'classic' trip from Sapporo. However, with 4 days it might be a bit of a squeeze. It takes 2-3 hrs on the train and costs around 2,500 yen. An easier excursion from Sapporo would be Otaru. I liked it there. Only 30 mins from Sapporo by train (about 600 -1000 yen depending on the service you use). If you like hot springs then some friends I know have been to Jozankei and said it was nice. I looked it up; you need to take I bus from Sapporo station maybe. 75 min and 700 yen. Personally, I liked Sapporo a lot and felt there was enough within the city to occupy a few days. But if you're making the trip all the way from Tokyo, then you should probably explore some places outside of the city.

Under the radar winter festivals

There are some winter festivals that get a lot of hype, like the Sapporo Snow Festival, for instance. However, as someone who doesn't like crowds, I enjoy lower-key festivals a whole lot more. Do you have any favorite winter festivals that aren't really tourist-trappy? What makes them fun or unique?

Growing Mushrooms

Here's for a weird hobby. I just saw a video by an American Youtuber that I plan to watch about growing shiitake mushrooms. From what I've seen, it probably needs a bit of space. There was a local market in Fukuoka Prefecture that had a "mushroom room" where they grew and sold mushrooms like maitake and eringi. I also saw a video of a couple in Paris that built a mushroom growing shower room! The local hardware store sells "seeded" logs and shiitake mushroom growing kits. I have seen the logs around people's homes on occasion. It seems like a very odd, but sustainable hobby. Has anyone tried it, or is anyone interested to try this? I wonder how involved or beginner friendly it is.

How do you feel about nuclear power?

This week, the mayor of Niigata officially approved the restarting of a nuclear power plant in Kashiwazaki. My home country doesn't use nuclear power, so it makes me a bit uneasy. How do you feel about it? Would you be comfortable with a nuclear power plant operating in your prefecture?
