Japan Trip: So many things to do in Hokkaido 01 Moopon

The northernmost part of Japan, Hokkaido (北海道) is the second largest, least developed of the Japan’s four main islands. Though winter is harsh here, with lots of snowfall, below zero temperature, summer in Hokkaido is quite pleasant as it isn’t as hot and humid in Hokkaido as it is in other parts of Japan.

Hokkaido is attractive to many visitors for many reasons. The ski/snowboard opportunities here are the best within all of Japan. Many foreign visitors come to Hokkaido for the slopes.

Every February, there is the Sapporo Snow Festival featuring ice sculptures. Large in size, the streets of Sapporo of filled with this chilling pieces of art. Though the temperature is very cold, visitors from all over the world gather in Sapporo for this festival. It is very crowded and visitors wishing to attend should make accommodation reservations in advance.

Visitors may also be interested to visit Kushiro-shitsugen National Park, Ramsar Convention registered wetland. Many rare animals and plants reside in the wetlands. There are walkways for visitors to walk through the wetlands as well as observatories to look into vast natural wildness.

Visitors interested in all the natural wonder should visit Fuano and Biei. In addition to the ski opportunities the cities offer in the winter, both places boasts picturesque floral scenery.

Asahiyama Zoo in Ashikawa, is a modern zoo where visitors can view animals in its natural habitat. Not a safari land, the architecture of the zoo is designed keeping the animals in mind.
