Haikara Zaka cityscape A steel slab taken mid-cutHaikara zaka, the slope leading up toward Yubari's city centre, shows faded shopfronts and weathered facades catching afternoon light on dusty glass. The street sits within what was once a city of nearly 108,000 people, built on a century of coal. Part of the Streetscapes of Yubari series.
