Tree-lined Avenue
The avenue of poplar and ginkgo trees is a spot where almost all tourists that come to this campus are sure to visit. It has a romantic feel like a scene in a movie, especially in October and November, when the leaves change color making it a perfect photo spot.

Most Popular Cafeteria Dish: Gyutoro-Don
The most popular dish in the central cafeteria on campus is the gyutoro-don (raw beef rice bowl). The beef is put on top of the rice and topped with negi (leek). It is then eaten with wasabi soy sauce. This is one of Hokkaido University's specialties that has many fans that become hooked to the fluffy texture of the meat.
