Do you know how beautiful Hokkaido in Japan is?

I am very happy to write a detailed travelogue for you to visit Hokkaido, Japan. Hokkaido is the northernmost island of Japan, famous for its beautiful natural scenery, fresh food, and warm culture. In this travelogue, I will introduce how to plan and arrange an unforgettable trip to Hokkaido for you. Day 1: Sapporo City After arriving at New Chitose Airport, we took the JR express train to Sapporo, the capital of Hokkaido. After checking into a hotel in the city center, we went to Tanukikoji Shopping Street, one of the busiest commercial streets in Sapporo. There are all kinds of shops, restaurants, and cafes here. We tasted the local specialty sweets "potato cake" and "milk yokan", which were very delicious. Day 2: Otaru City We rented a car and headed to another famous city in Hokkaido - Otaru. This small city is known for its historic buildings and beautiful canals. We strolled around the famous Otaru Canal and Xingye Night Market, and also tasted local seafood dishes. In the evening, we returned to Sapporo and experienced the local nightlife. Day 3: Asahiyama Zoo As one of the most famous zoos in Hokkaido, Asahiyama Zoo is home to many animals from the Arctic Circle, including polar bears, penguins, and sea lions. We participated in the "Polar Bear Walk" activity and saw the lively and cute polar bears running in the snow. In addition, we also relaxed in the nearby hot spring hotel and soaked in the hot spring. Day 4: Furano City We rented a car and headed to Furano City in Hokkaido, which is famous for its beautiful flower fields and scenery. We enjoyed vast fields of lavender and other flowers at the Furano Flower Fields Park. In addition, we visited local vineyards and tasted delicious wine and grape juice. Day 5: Hakodate City We took the JR express train to Hakodate in the southern part of Hokkaido, where there are magnificent ports and coastlines. We visited Mount Hakodate and the night view of Hakodate, which is one of the world-famous night views. We also bought local specialties and handicrafts at the Hakodate Red Brick Warehouse, which was very interesting. Day 6: Tourist train We took the luxurious tourist train "Hokutosei" in Hokkaido, returning from Hakodate to Sapporo. This was a very luxurious train journey, where we could enjoy the magnificent natural scenery of Hokkaido. In the evening, we participated in a local traditional music and dance performance, which was very exciting. Seventh day: Japanese hot springs We decided to enjoy Japan's hot spring culture on the last day. We went to a hot spring resort in Hokkaido, where we enjoyed delicious food, hot springs, and massages. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable experience that made us feel rejuvenated. Day 8: End of the journey. We returned to our hotel in Sapporo, packed our bags and checked out. Then we took the JR express train back to New Chitose Airport, ending this unforgettable trip to Hokkaido. Summary Hokkaido is a place full of natural scenery and cultural characteristics. During this trip, we tasted local cuisine, enjoyed magnificent natural landscapes, experienced hot spring culture, and participated in local traditional cultural activities. I strongly recommend everyone to travel to Hokkaido. It is an unforgettable experience where you will gain many wonderful memories.
