English Translation

Hokkaido is a large island located in the northernmost part of Japan. It has lots of nature and delicious food, so it is a very popular travel destination!

The largest city in Hokkaido is Sapporo. Sapporo has many famous places, such as Odori Park, Sapporo Clock Tower, and Susukino. At night, there is also an interesting culture called “shime parfait.” A shime parfait is a parfait that people eat after enjoying dinner or drinks. In Sapporo, there are even shops where you can eat parfaits late at night.

Otaru, which is easy to reach by train from Sapporo, is also popular. Otaru has a canal and many old buildings, so you can enjoy a different atmosphere from Sapporo. Because it is close to the sea, it is also famous for fresh seafood.

For people who love nature, Biei and Furano are also recommended. You can see beautiful scenery that feels very Hokkaido-like, including wide fields and mountains. In Hakodate, you can also enjoy a beautiful night view from the mountain.

Actually, I have decided to go to Hokkaido this October! I am going to visit my sister, who lives there. I have never been to Hokkaido before, so I am really excited! After I come back from my trip, I would like to share more with everyone about what I saw and what I ate in Hokkaido.

Hokkaido in October seems to be much colder than Tokyo, so I will need warm clothes too. I want to enjoy my first trip to Hokkaido by eating delicious food and seeing lots of nature!
