Hokkaido 3D2N - Lavender, Lavender, and Flower

Looking for a perfect summer escape in Japan, where you can beat the heat and take endless photos in gorgeous lavender fields? Welcome to Hokkaido! ❤️ We traveled from Tokyo, taking shinkansen (thanks to our JR Pass) from Tokyo Station to Hakodate, and then onward to Sapporo. If you're short on time, you might want to consider flying directly into Chitose Airport. The moment we arrived in Hokkaido, we felt an immediate sense of comfort. In the summer, Sapporo's temperature was a pleasant 22-23°C, making it the perfect retreat from the heat. 🗓️Itinerary Scheduling Since we only had a few days in Hokkaido, here’s our itinerary: Day 1: Travel to Sapporo via train. Relax and explore the city at a leisurely pace. Day 2: Spend the day in Furano, where the endless lavender fields will leave you in awe. Visit the famous Furano Lavender Field and the vibrant Shikisai no Oka, known for its beautiful flower gardens. You’ll want your camera ready for this one! Day 3: Start the day with a visit to the Asahi Beer Museum and then indulge your sweet tooth at Shiroi Koibito Park. Afterward, take a trip to the charming coastal town of Otaru before heading back to Tokyo. #japantrip

The Ōta Jinja

The Ōta Jinja

It is a mountain sacred site with the oldest history in Hokkaido, and is said to have been founded during the reign of Kakichi (1441-1443) in a cave near the summit of Mt. Ota (485m above sea level), which towers over a cliff. In the past, the Ainu people living in this area called the mountain spirit ''Otakamoi" and worshiped it as the guardian deity of Ezochi. In 1453, Nobuhiro Takeda, the founder of the Matsumae domain, landed in the Ota area and saw the Ainu people praying towards the mountain, so he climbed the mountain himself and discovered that there was a spirit inside the cave. It is said that this belief began in 1454 when he gave the honorific title of 'Ota Daigongen" and spread the word to people widely.

Cherry on the Cake

#japantrip While Japan is no short of reasons or places that make it the world's most beautiful destination for a holiday (or just about anything for that matter). Those who haven't been to Hokkaido up north are missing the most beautiful parts of this gorgeous country. The north especially during various seasons transforms into something else. You have it witness it yourself. Like with most other prefectures, you will have plenty of options. Yes, this is going to be slightly more expensive than other places. Also I would recommend driving around to get to places, otherwise shared transport. Whatever works for you. Hokkaido is not to be missed! #japantrip #hokkaido #cherryblossom2024 #japan #winter

Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park

However, in Hokkaido, which is located at a high latitude, May is the season when the colorful spectacle unfolds. From early May to early June each year, the slopes of Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park are covered with a pink carpet of moss phlox, offering a visual impact as if pigments were scattered across the land. To enhance the enjoyment of visitors, Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park has set up numerous photogenic spots, such as the moss phlox cow flower field on the hillside, the peach-colored torii gates of the Sanzu Shrine, and the latticed cottage amidst the sea of moss phlox flowers. The limited-time night illumination adds a different, enchanting atmosphere. As Higashimokoto beef and related dairy products are also local specialties, the park offers a variety of ice creams, including moss phlox-flavored soft serve.

Winter Walks: Hokkaido is a Winter Wonderland

Winter Walks: Hokkaido is a Winter Wonderland

The snow in Hokkaido is a love letter from winter to the world. The snowflakes fall like stars, gently covering the earth. The distant mountains, draped in white, stand quietly between heaven and earth, guarding this icy kingdom. - As a photographer who visits Hokkaido every year to shoot the snow, I have gradually stopped using my camera in recent years. I prefer to travel light and take photos with my phone. Share your winter photos with us! -

Hokkaido, Japan

Hokkaido, Japan's largest island, is renowned for its stunning natural landscapes and rich culinary delights. I had the privilege of visiting this enchanting land last autumn, and here is my travel experience. First, the natural scenery of Hokkaido is breathtaking. I visited Asahiyama Zoo, where I saw polar bears, penguins, and arctic foxes living freely on the vast snowy plains. In Hokkaido, hot springs are a major highlight. I went to the Toyako Onsen in the Noboribetsu area and enjoyed a day of relaxation and soaking in the hot springs. Watching the steam rise from the hot springs by the lake, with endless mountains in the distance, I felt the tranquility and mystery of nature. Hokkaido is also a food paradise. I tried the local fresh seafood, especially live sea urchins and fresh scallops, which were simply unforgettable. Additionally, Hokkaido's dairy products are exceptional. I tasted locally made ice cream and cheese, which had a rich and delightful flavor.😍😍

Solo in Hokkaido, Japan

Location - Situated at the northernmost of Japan which is the second largest island of the country. Attractions - Visited Sapporo(the largest city in Hokkaido) and Matsumae. Everyone is so friendly and comfortable most probably due to their culture and respect mannerism. Food - Definitely go for the fresh seafood such as the uni(sea urchin) of Rishiri and Rebun. Try on the donburi(rice bowl) with fresh uni, ika(squid) and ikura(salmon roe) on top of it for breakfast, gonna love them😄. Not forgetting, Sapporo Ramen is a must to have while in Hokkaido😊. #solotravel #travelwithgeo #travelphotography #travelinspiration #japantravel #hokkaidotravel

Special Moments of Winter Travel in Sapporo & Otaru

Special Moments of Winter Travel in Sapporo & Otaru

The winter in Sapporo and Otaru was as beautiful as a scene from a fairy tale. In Sapporo, walking through the snow-covered Odori Park, we could admire the fantastic snow sculptures of the Sapporo Snow Festival. The cityscape covered in white snow was truly romantic, and a bowl of warm miso ramen felt even more special in the cold weather. In Otaru, the most memorable moment was walking along the canal. The canal illuminated by soft lights on a winter night was incredibly romantic, and the snow-covered streets looked like a scene from a movie. Walking through the streets of Otaru, filled with small glass craft shops and music box stores, made time feel like it was passing slowly. The winter trip to Sapporo and Otaru left warm memories, and I wish to experience the beauty of this place once again.
