my view in July

Selain dari Zoo Asahiyama di Asahikawa  , tarikan lain waktu ialah Tambo Art paddy field.

Dikatakan untuk buat art ni mereka akan tanam padi berlain jenis untuk membentuk lukisan yang diinginkan.

Driving tips: The stop sign is in japanese .
Kena hati2 di situ jangan tak berhenti pula. Untuk ke kanan kena make sure opposite clear sebab  akan hijau kedua2 arah perjalanan.
Note : We need to return car with full tank. 2 type of gasoline station ( stesen minyak ) , self service and full service better opt  full service as we need to fill in the correct gasoline.
