Yakku Ranch

Yakku Ranch

Introduction Yakku Ranch is a famous tourist destination in the suburbs of Sapporo, open from May to October every year.

Strolling through the ranch, you’ll feel the warm breeze on your face as the grassland ripples in the wind, with green fields dotted with white — herds of sheep moving about. The distant mountains are white, and in the far distance stands a solitary old tree.

Fans of the Japanese movie *A Distant Cry from Spring* have a special fondness for Hokkaido’s ranches. The male and female protagonists, played by Ken Takakura and Sachiko Hidari, meet in the vast and lonely ranch. Both have their own pasts, but their futures become closely intertwined.

Life here is simple yet profound, making it a favorite escape for city dwellers looking to unwind.
