Day of the People of the Province: July 17

July 17 is the day when Takeshiro Matsuura, who is considered the godfather of Hokkaido, proposed the name "Hokkaidō" to the Meiji government in 1869. Therefore, July 17 was established as "Hokkaido Citizens' Day" as a day to reconsider the value of Hokkaido and think about Hokkaido in the future.
