March 2020 – March is finally here and it won’t be long before summer. 2020 hasn’t really been a great year so far due to the virus outbreak, really hope the situation gets better soon. This month, I will be sharing my journey to Hokkaido, just for memories sake, and for everyone who would love to visit Hokkaido in the future. The footage is from my previous trip back in summer of 2019 (July). Hope Hokkaido would soon return to the calm, peaceful state as before.
The fourth and final stop is Noboribetsu. Noboribetsu is a city in the southern part of Hokkaido, and the focus of this trip is in the Noboribetsu Onsen town, around 7 km away from the city centre. The onsen town is one of many well-known resorts in Japan, with many hotels and ryokan, and is the largest “hot spring town” in Hokkaido. The most famous attraction here is the Jigokudani (Hell Valley), a volcanic crater with boiling sulfuric hot springs, hiking paths and breathtaking (literally) landscapes. It is very accessible from Sapporo via both JR and the highway bus. The itinerary for this trip includes Jigokudani (Hell Valley), Oyunuma Pond and River Oyunuma Natural Footbath.

Still travelling film series document my journey to different parts of Japan. They portray my minimalist, laid-back approach to travel. The film consists of mostly moving stills. There are minimal camera movements and editing, no talking, just pure visuals, bgm and ambience sound that focus on the broader landscape, mundane happenings and small details that amazed me along the way.
