What people say

"🇬🇧 Hokkaido is one flight away from Tokyo, and I absolutely recommend this spot in Winter, during the Snow Festival in Sapporo ❄️ It is also very popular for skiing & snowboarding enthusiasts thanks to the quality of its powder snow! Summer is also very popular among locals in order to get away from the heat, and lavender fields will make for an ideal photo spot in Spring 📸 __________________________________________________________________ 🇪🇸 Hokkaido está a un vuelo de distancia de Tokio, y es uno de mis destinos más recomendados en invierno, durante el festival de la nieve de Sapporo ❄️ Es un destino muy popular también a nivel global para los amantes del ski y del snowboard, ¡debido a la alta calidad de su nieve en polvo! El verano es una de las épocas en las que más disfrutan yendo los locales, ya que es un buen lugar para huir del calor, y sus campos de lavanda son ideales para sacar fotos en primavera 📸"
"This is the northernmost island in Japan, and it has a very different history from mainland Japan (Honshu), having maintained its Jomon culture of hunting and fishing until about 2,000 years ago, which was followed by the aboriginal Ainu culture. Now a largely agriculture-based society, the planned crisscrossing roads are easy to navigate. Its capitol Sapporo is famous its namesake beer and the annual Snow Festival (see link below), as well as several ski resorts and hot springs. "
"Japan's northernmost and vast island, Hokkaido is renowned for its magnificent natural landscapes. Visitors can enjoy beautiful seasonal sceneries, hot springs, skiing, and delicious seafood. The winter snowscapes and summer flower fields are particularly famous. "
