Sapporo to Asahikawa | Winter in Hokkaido Japan | Day 1 – First Snowfall, Full Itinerary
Hello! こんにちは!!!
Sorry for the long wait. Here’s the next installment of our Winter in Hokkaido Series. This is the official Day 1 of our weeklong travel in Japan. A lot of ‘firsts’ were added to my list this day. I learnt a lot from this travel, specially in managing and navigating during winter. Having experienced today my first snowfall was certainly a dream come true. Now, I am able to say, that’s how snow feels like. ☺️
When planning for this trip, I initially plotted Niseko as my side trip. However, just few months ago, I discovered Asahikawa and Biei. As I researched about it, I realized that it more matches my personality and preferences. I ended up booking one of the Youtube popular hotels in Asahikawa, OMO7. My first night in this city was nothing short of exciting. Here I experienced my first Onsen and even my first major earthquake.
I made a detailed documentation of my adventures today in this vlog. It contains so much new core memories in it. Hope you’ll enjoy this content and help you plan your next trip to Sapporo and Asahikawa. 🙂

It seems like you’re really enjoying Japan, isn’t it? I was really moved by the part where you almost cried because of the snow. Someday, I’ll be there too to experience what you just had.
Your video really inspired me, and I hope that soon I’ll get to experience the snow as well – after all, the cold never bothers me anyway 😂 I really appreciate you sharing this content. Happy New Year to you, and more power to your channel!
Superb!!! Very nice video.

as a fellow introvert, i do really agree with you.. traveling alone means quiet and traveling at our own pace 🙂
your video is so informative and i could tell that everything is well researched.. thank you and will be waiting for the next one..
