Sapporo and Sendai

I will tell you Sapporo and Sendai. First of all, Sapporo has the fourth largest population in Japan. This city is also the third largest area in Japan. However, Sapporo is a sparsely populated area in spite of having the fourth largest population. Its population density is much less than Fukuoka City, Kyoto City, and Kumamoto City's one. Still, Sapporo has some sister cities.(Portland City, Oregon State in USA, Munchen City,Bayern State in Deutschland, Shenyang City, Liaoning State in China, Daejeon-Gwangyeoksi City in South Korea, and Novosibirsk City, Novosibirsk State in Russia.) What you must not forget when you are asked about Sapporo is Sapporo Snow Festival. The people who are from other prefectures visit there in order to see much beautiful snow modeling. It is held at the beginning of February every year. In addition, Sapporo is also famous for Sapporo Dome which is the base of Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters. However, I don't like Fighters so much. I like Yomiuri Giants and Fukuoka Softbank Hawks because my home is in Kyusyu. 
By the way, what do you think of Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture?  Sendai is one of the ordinance designated cities in Japan, and it is the prefectural capital of Miyagi. Sendai is also the biggest city in Tohoku Area. However, its population density is much less than Kumamoto City's one and Fukuoka City's one. Still, Sendai is popular city. It is also one of the stricken areas of East Japan Great Earthquake, so all around the world people cheer the people who were born in Tohoku area. Sendai has some international sister cities (Riverside City, California State in USA, Rennes City in France, and  Acapulco City in Mexico). It also has two international friendship cities. One is Dallas City, Texas State in USA. The other is Changchun City, Jilin State in China. Although it is probably impossible for you to visit Sendai, you may be able to visit Sapporo. If you have a chance to go to Sapporo, why don't you visit there once? It is probable that Sapporo makes you happy.
