As we had to woke up and leave Sapporo early in the morning on that day, we did quick bite on the platform Sapporo Railway Station. We had typical buckwheat noodle soup at the counter of the noodle bar. It was so fine and the snow field reflected the sunshine so nicely.
We were heading to Obihiro City, using "Hokkaido Love!" Railway Pass valid for six days. The local railway that connected the central part of Yubari City and this station was abolished decades ago.
Yubari City had been full-flourished with coal mines and its high quality coal for decades. They were defeated by the cheeper imported coal. Some explosion occurred in the shift and adit. The population in the former coal- mine area is shrinking so rapidly.
