Living in Sumikawa

Minami Ward is regarded as second among Sapporo's 10 wards for public safety, a safe neighborhood, and market prices are on the low side even along the Namboku Line, so everyone from single people to families settles in. Commuting to the city center is also decent without a transfer. However, you should keep in mind that it is a purely residential area without an entertainment district and a ward with many slopes and considerable snowfall in winter.

This is a calm residential area in Minami Ward, on the subway Namboku Line. The subway reaches the city center without trouble, and tidy residential streets and good public safety suit family living, with rents reasonable for the city-center area, so you can enjoy a stable life. However, there is no large entertainment district, and because it is in the south, winter cold and snow must be taken into account. It suits families and office workers who want a quiet, safe residential environment.
