Introduction Skiing in Hokkaido

Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

Hokkaido is an ideal choice for skiing enthusiasts. From December to March of the following year, the unique geographical and climatic conditions here create a high-quality environment for skiing. Hokkaido's mountainous terrain provides a variety of terrains for the site selection of ski resorts, with beginner, intermediate and advanced slopes to meet the needs of skiers of different levels.

Powder snow is a highlight of skiing in Hokkaido. The snow is fine and soft, making the sliding experience particularly comfortable. Sapporo, Furano and other ski resorts are well-known. In these ski resorts, you can enjoy the thrill of speeding and the magnificent snow scenery covered in silver. The mountains in the distance are set off by the white snow. In addition to skiing, you can also experience Japanese hot springs, which are warm and comfortable, and deeply feel the unique charm of Hokkaido in winter.

Special Moments of Winter Travel in Sapporo & Otaru

The winter in Sapporo and Otaru was as beautiful as a scene from a fairy tale. In Sapporo, walking through the snow-covered Odori Park, we could admire the fantastic snow sculptures of the Sapporo Snow Festival. The cityscape covered in white snow was truly romantic, and a bowl of warm miso ramen felt even more special in the cold weather. In Otaru, the most memorable moment was walking along the canal. The canal illuminated by soft lights on a winter night was incredibly romantic, and the snow-covered streets looked like a scene from a movie. Walking through the streets of Otaru, filled with small glass craft shops and music box stores, made time feel like it was passing slowly. The winter trip to Sapporo and Otaru left warm memories, and I wish to experience the beauty of this place once again.

Hokkaido, I am so good at choosing hotels. The hot spring is really comfortable.

Hokkaido, I am so good at choosing hotels. The hot spring is really comfortable.

Hokkaido, I am so good at choosing hotels. The hot spring is really comfortable. One night with two meals, including one night stay + unlimited buffet dinner, breakfast, and hot spring. Much better than the hotels I haven't been to for around 500 AUD (such as Queenstown in New Zealand, Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, Shangri-La in Sydney, etc.)! Cost performance, scenery, service, one night with two meals, private hot spring in the room, open-air public hot spring are indeed impeccable! Every room faces the lake view, you can enjoy the lake view when you wake up and before you go to bed. Staying here is the most beautiful trip. Hokkaido Toyako Lake, The Lake Suite Ko no Sumika

Unexpectedly hot Asahikawa, expected beauty

Unexpectedly hot Asahikawa, expected beauty

Taking advantage of the children's summer vacation, we planned to escape Tokyo and go to Asahikawa to avoid the heat. The day before departure, the weather looked cool, and it was indeed so when we got off the plane. Unexpectedly, the temperature soared to 30 degrees in the following days. But, even so, Asahikawa is still worth a visit! On the first day, we took the Norokko train to Lavender Farm, walked a few minutes to Tomita Farm, and chased the last acre of lavender in summer. We had lavender ice cream, melon 🍈 ice cream, and took the kids to check in one tractor 🚜 after another. This check-in point was basically completed ✅ On the second day, we arrived at Biei. After getting off the station, we rented a parent-child bicycle and headed to Shikisai no Oka. Along the way, we enjoyed a full view of the blue sky and green fields. I can only say that these crops are so well-behaved, looking fluffy and particularly cute. Shikisai no Oka is also quite beautiful. For 900 yen, you can ride the sightseeing car and see the alpacas 🦙. The old man driving the sightseeing car would stop at the best photo spots, giving us plenty of time to take pictures 📸. He really understands the tourists' psychology, haha. After finishing here, if the weather is not too hot, you can continue to leisurely ride through the fields. Unlike near the airport, there is no smell of cow dung here, and on the undulating roads of the highlands, you can see various different sceneries. In summary, Biei was our favorite place on this trip. Later, we also went to Asahiyama Zoo, the cheese factory, and Ningle Terrace. To be honest, the points are too far apart, and for friends who didn't rent a car, it's not worth going. Finally, besides checking in, enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way!

Cherry on the Cake

#japantrip While Japan is no short of reasons or places that make it the world's most beautiful destination for a holiday (or just about anything for that matter). Those who haven't been to Hokkaido up north are missing the most beautiful parts of this gorgeous country. The north especially during various seasons transforms into something else. You have it witness it yourself. Like with most other prefectures, you will have plenty of options. Yes, this is going to be slightly more expensive than other places. Also I would recommend driving around to get to places, otherwise shared transport. Whatever works for you. Hokkaido is not to be missed! #japantrip #hokkaido #cherryblossom2024 #japan #winter

Hakodate|You are truly breathtaking.

Hakodate|You are truly breathtaking.

My favorite place in Hokkaido besides Otaru A tranquil seaside town like this Can definitely gain more recognition in Hokkaido There are no specific attractions, just wandering around will surprise you I really resist the kind of stressful itinerary where you have to take photos and edit them everywhere Strolling around casually and relaxing Everywhere is naturally beautiful, making you feel happy and refreshed I really recommend everyone to come and spend two days here One day is really not enough Also, the seaside wind is indeed very strong, it feels colder than Sapporo and Otaru As for the Joker Burger... it doesn't taste very good, I kind of miss the McSpicy Chicken Burger

Shinsen-numa Marsh Parking Lot & Observation Deck

Shinsen-numa Marsh Parking Lot & Observation Deck

The walking path to the observation deck was not well maintained. There is a path, but you have to push through bamboo bushes that are about as tall as you are, and from the observation deck you can just see a little bit of the scenery through the trees. This is a store that is only open seasonally. In addition to ramen and curry, you can also enjoy soft serve ice cream and coffee at the rest house. It's a little secret spot. Recommended for standing on the drive.
