Ten things you must know when traveling to Hokkaido!

If you want to see snow in winter, of course you have to go to Hokkaido, Japan, a dreamy and romantic place to see snow! Here are ten things you must know when visiting Hokkaido! It really works! Highly recommended! / 1. Wear anti-slip insoles. It is easy to slip on the ice and snow on the road! 2. Don’t wear too much. The temperature is mostly below zero. It’s not very cold. Compared with the Northeast, it’s really not cold at all! 3. Don’t get up too late! It starts to get dark here at three or four o'clock, and it's basically night after four o'clock! Get out early and go out and play! 4. Carry a power bank with you! It’s easy for your phone to lose battery in cold weather! And you can hardly see any power banks for rent here! 5. Try not to generate garbage! It's hard to find trash cans here, especially on the street! Eating creates garbage, and you may have to carry it around for most of the day! 6. When taking the bus, get on through the back door and exit through the front door. You don't have to pay when you get on the bus, but you have to pay when you get off. It’s best to prepare some change in advance. 7. Most hotel check-in times are after 3 p.m., and check-out times are at 10 or 11 a.m. Please arrange your time reasonably. 8. Arrange your luggage appropriately. It will be difficult to travel in the snow with too much luggage! ! ! 9. If you need transportation information for your destination, just use Google Maps! There is still time! You can also check attractions, restaurants, etc. It's very useful! 10. Download a mobile translation app. Most people here don’t speak English or their English is not very good. Using software to communicate is time-consuming but it is possible. / 「Hokkaido Transportation」： 1.
