One of the most popular place to visit for the tourists to Sapporo is "Hitsuji-ga-oka" which means "Sheep hill" in Japanese. This house was built to commemorate the relationship with Austria that dispatched Lieutenant Colonel Theodor Edler von Lerch.
He introduced skiing to Japan and taught skiing to the soldiers of Japan. Precisely speaking, he belonged to the army of Austria-Hungary Empire.
"Austria House " on the sheep Hill is beside the parking lot of the park. The entrance fee was not taken on that day. All the free service was arranged to enhance the visit of the citizens to the place for tourism.
