Exploring Hokkaido's Floral Wonderland and the Northernmost Point in Japan

In July 2023, my family embarked on an unforgettable journey to Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island. With my mum, sister, and wife by my side, we discovered that Hokkaido's allure extends far beyond its famed winter landscapes. Our adventure began in Sapporo, a city known for its culinary delights. We savored the exquisite flavors of miso ramen, a local specialty that left us craving for more. The comfortable weather added to the city's charm as we explored its vibrant streets. A highlight of our trip was visiting Furano, renowned for its stunning flower parks. We were fortunate to witness the lavenders in full bloom, transforming the landscape into a sea of enchanting purple. At Farm Tomita, Shikisai Hill, and Hinode Park, we immersed ourselves in the breathtaking scenes, capturing the beauty of the colorful blooms. An unforgettable experience awaited us at Hinode Park, where we walked amidst illuminated lavenders, creating a magical spectacle that will forever remain etched in our memories. Our journey took us to the picturesque town of Biei, where we discovered the mesmerizing Shirogane Blue Pond. The tranquil waters reflected a captivating shade of blue, giving the impression of a perfectly edited photograph. The serenity of the pond's surroundings left us in awe, allowing us to appreciate the wonders of nature. Driving to Wakkanai, the northernmost point of Japan, was another highlight of our Hokkaido adventure. Although the weather obscured our view of Russia, the joyous moments spent together as a family were immeasurable. The scenic routes and vast landscapes added to the memorable experience, creating a sense of togetherness and appreciation for the beauty that surrounded us. As we made our way back to Sapporo, we passed through Hokuryu Sunflower Village. Despite the sunflowers not being in full bloom, their vibrant presence still amazed us, adding a touch of brightness to the landscape. Our Hokkaido adventure reminded us that the island is not limited to its winter charms. From the delightful cuisine of Sapporo to the captivating lavender fields of Furano, the ethereal beauty of the Shirogane Blue Pond, and the joyous family moments during our journey to Wakkanai, each experience left an indelible mark on our hearts. Hokkaido revealed its true essence, captivating us with its natural splendor and creating cherished memories that will forever hold a special place in our hearts. #timetotravel #lavender #hokkaido #wakkanai #flowers

Winter Wonderland in Hokkaido

Seeing snow is fascinating as we never get to experience it in sunny Singapore. Can you imagine our excitement when we first glimpsed the thick blanket of snow embracing the city of Hokkaido from the tiny window of the plane? Our stomachs fluttered and our hearts skipped a bit like we were in love! We were in love - in love with the magical and enchanting winter wonderland. Skiing is the first activity we did in Hokkaido (like many people do). It was our first time skiing and we went to a beginner-friendly ski resort - Sapporo Teine Ski Resort. It has a good selection of trails from advance to beginner. Arming with our ski gears in our many layers of clothes, we set off to the Olympia Zone which has less steep trails and a family park for sledding. It is named the Olympia Zone because the trail is used for ski events during the 1972 Sapporo Winter Olympics. We were thrilled to be able to ski on the very slope that the Olympic athletes competed in! Skiing is difficult, it needs a lot of controlling and balancing on slippery ground. We couldn't really get use to it and kept falling down (as seen in photos) but we definitely had fun. It's an exhilarating experience! Try when you get the chance. The following day, we went to see trees in Biei Town. They are not just any trees. They are famous trees which appeared in commercial ads and have attracted a lot of visitors in the past year. Some of the famous trees are the Seven Star Tree, Christmas Tree and mother-and-child tree. Against the snowy backdrop, the trees look even more magnificent. I came to know that Biei Town is beautiful in spring with bed of flowers blooming. If you are not rushing for time, you can plan this 'tree hunting/flower watching' trip into your itinerary! 1. Sapporo Teine Ski Resort Address - 172 Teinekanayama, Teine Ward, Sapporo, Hokkaido 006-0049, Japan Getting there - About 45 minutes by train and bus via JR Teine Station.

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

Chitose Outlet Mall Rera

Rera is Hokkaido’s largest outlet mall and is the ideal way to spend a rainy or snowy day. It is also only 10 minutes away from New Chitose Airport, so you can do some last-minute shopping here before you leave. There are many tax-free shops, and free Wi-Fi is available throughout the mall. In total, there are about 140 on-site shops and restaurants to explore.

Three-brushed Hokkaido Road East 8th tour route Hokkaido is a dream. There is only love in this dream. I don't like winter because the winter in Shanghai is wet and cold. I am afraid of cold, but I ran to the Hokkaido New Year in the snow and ice, this is not the first time. First time: Sapporo----Dengbe--Hakodate Second: Sapporo----Nobori--Toya--Hakodate--Asahikawa third Times: Sapporo------------ Itinerary: Day One: Shanghai--New Chitose (aircraft) , New Chitose - Sapporo (bus), Su: Sapporo Day Two: Sapporo - JR (JR), Su: Otaru Day Three: Otaru - Toyako (JR), Su: Toya Lake Day Four: Toyako--South Chitose--Jilu (JR), Su: Lulu Day Five: Kushiro--Kyoto (JR), Su: Shiretoko Day Six: Shiretoko--Walking--Asahikawa (JR), Suwa: Asahikawa Day Seven: Asahikawa--Sapporo (JR), Su: Sapporo Day Eight: Sapporo--New Chitose (JR), New Chitose - Shanghai (aircraft) preparation before the line: down jacket: do not short, it is best to choose a half-length style around the knee with a hat. Gloves: It is recommended to consider soft thick wool gloves (disadvantages: easy to wet), or buy outdoor ski gloves on the Internet (disadvantages: not flexible, but keep warm), do not use leather gloves. Hat: In addition to the hat that comes with the down jacket, it is best to bring a hat made of wool. Shoes: It is recommended to buy a brand of waterproof non-slip outdoor snow boots, do not wear UGG and other known as snow boots, go to the snow and all wet, and will slip. Pants: For adults, jeans are good. Wearing cotton pants or leggings is enough. For children, it is best to wear waterproof pants. Children play snow and forget about snowing. It is water, the pants are the worst thing, it is easy to catch cold. The most important thing is: It is recommended to prepare the "Claw" in advance, buy the foot and heel are toothed, otherwise you can only go to the convenience store to buy. If the weather is warmer and the degree of liquefaction of the snow is higher, the claws with more teeth tend to accumulate ice, and the effect is not good. So if you buy less teeth in the warm weather, its right to buy more teeth. In addition, in order to avoid the case, it is best to bring a thick scarf, sunglasses are also best to bring, the reflection of the snow is very glaring, simply can not open the eyes.

I dont know that there are such short horses without seeing the little pony. The daughter gently touched its hair and really liked it. Original grass mud horse, white, camel and black! Everyone should pay attention when watching grass mud horses, they will spit! Black grass mud horses are rare, and the children watching them especially like animals! The animals are really cute! The natural environment near the farm is very beautiful, so that the journey close to nature, such a rare little animal, gave the daughter a long experience.

Ji Sha Luo In the sushi restaurant I have been to, Ji Sha Luo is not the most delicious, but its unique personality is impressive. This sushi restaurant in Sapporo, Hokkaido is only open for dinner, two-part, and the second is at 7:30. Even if you arrive early, you can only wait patiently outside the store. After all, there are only a total of nine seats in front of the board, and the possibility of a two-part reservation is greater. Generally speaking, the sushi restaurant will offer a separate sushi or a set of several dishes and sushi, and the sushi will be presented consecutively after the meal. Ji Shaluo is different. It is a form of wine and sushi that alternates, just like the first set. In terms of seasoning and matching, it is also a bit innovative. Sushi's relic (vinegar rice) is specially made into the size of a thumb, and it is served as an appetizer while drinking.

Hokkaido, a fairy tale, is suitable for slowly searching for taste. The green pool formed by nature's ingenuity, I don't know when it will disappear, I can feel its beauty before disappearing! When Qingchi came into my eyes, I had the feeling of holding my breath! Perhaps the waterfall in Hokkaido is not an attraction, nor is it a magnificent feeling, but the feeling of flowing down the water in the high place is not a taste. I dont like our familys surging family. I love deep travel. This is just a small tree that has been advertised. Mild Seven Hills is not a big attraction, but its a full house. Full of happiness! Tokyoyue is an active volcano where you can see the geothermal heat coming out. The family is not risking their lives to see it Hokkaido is big, there are not many cars, the whole family is slow to swim~

In Asahikawa, Hokkaido, there is a snow-themed art museum: SnowCrystalMuseum, the museum's architecture uses European medieval style, plus thick white snow, everything is pure white, very suitable for photo punching. In addition to the beautiful exterior, there are various snow-themed exhibition halls inside. As soon as you walk into the art gallery, you will design a hexagonal spiral staircase along the various snow shapes to enter the world of snow. There are also materials and videos about snowflake knowledge for visitors to watch, as well as auditoriums and banquet halls that can be used for weddings. Weddings here must be both romantic and dreamy. R Asahikawa Station Take the Tohoku bus bound for Takasago, and get off at the Takasago Station entrance and walk for about 5 minutes to get to tickets Adult: 650 yen, children: 350 yen open time 9

Because the country can fly directly to Sapporo, many people will use Sapporo as the first or last stop of Hokkaido's trip. Today, we will recommend several attractions that Sapporo can't miss. Fig. 12 Sapporo Fushimi Inari Taisha Generally mentioned Fushimi Inari Taisha, everyone will think of Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, which is a shrine famous for its bird habitat. In Sapporo, there is also a Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine. Although there are not as many bird houses in Kyoto, the bird houses in the snow and ice are very special. Transportation: After visiting the Hokkaido Shrine, take the 10/11 bus to Sapporo Fushimi Inari Shrine Fig. 3456 Hokkaido Shrine Hokkaido Shrine in the round mountain In the park, you can visit Yuanshan Park together. Hokkaido Shrine is a shrine guarding Hokkaido. Here you can ask for your own loyalty, ranging from 1,000 yen to 2,000 yen. You can also donate money to pray. Transportation: Take the subway east line and get off at "Yuanshan Park Station" and walk for about 15 minutes. Fig. 789 White Lovers Chocolate Factory White Lovers Chocolate Sandwich Cookies and Ice Cream Producing Place, is a European classical castle full of British atmosphere. In addition to the white lover's chocolate biscuits, in fact, their family's ice cream is also very delicious. When you come to the White Lovers Factory, you must try the ice cream here. I think the ice cream is better than the biscuits. Transportation: Take the subway east line and get off at "Miyazawa Station", then walk for about 7 minutes.

To Hokkaido in winter, Asahikawa is a must-see. The most famous attraction in Asahikawa is the Asahiyama Zoo. The most popular attraction for the Asahiyama Zoo is the penguin walk. There is one at 11 am every day and one at half past two in the afternoon. The whole penguin walk is about half an hour. Once you enter the zoo, you can see the place where you can watch the penguins take a walk. It doesn't matter where you line up at the beginning. The penguin keeps going until you get back. Your own "home", follow the pace of the penguin to move your position, you can definitely find a good position to watch and take pictures. In addition to penguins, Asahiyama Zoo and polar bears, raccoons, deer, giraffes and other animals, watching animals in the snow and ice, is also a special experience. The decoration in the zoo is very love, the material is photographed everywhere, even the vending machine is also animal-themed, so cute, foul! ➡️About tickets: Adults 820 yen ➡️ About admission time (specifically see the official website) summer: April - October 9

The most anticipated place for this trip: Furano Forest Elf Terrace. The Forest Elf Terrace can be said to be a very very partial attraction. In fact, it is not an attraction. It is a commercial street of the New Furano Prince Hotel. The wooden cabin in the woods is completely a fairy tale picture! There must be an elf in the forest? The neling balcony ningle terrace, inspired by a character in the Japanese writer Cang Bencong's novel (accurately an elf living in the forest), built a forest hand-made experience workshop, where the flashing lights flashed Behind, maybe you really hide the elf! The roof of the cabin is covered with thick snow and warm yellow light. The wooden houses are also connected by snowy wooden paths. With the small lights on the handrails, I feel myself again. It is very happy, just like the protagonist in a fairy tale. After taking the photo, you can follow the signs to the Senji Time Cafe. This cafe was actually built for the Japanese drama "Tender Moment" and was later retained. Drinking afternoon tea towards the snow scene, is there a feeling of the protagonist of the day? Specially recommend the coffee here, use the container of Sen's time to grind the coffee beans yourself, the air is filled with the rich flavor of coffee beans, the soft music in the ear, the visual taste and hearing are satisfied at the same time! Winter There are three kinds of cakes here: first snow, snow, snowmelt, we ordered the first snow and snow, the left is the first snow, the right is the snow, do you think that these two cakes are really like What is the first snow and snow?

Good-looking hats, scarves, bags Choose clothes, don't forget to wear some nice accessories, good-looking hats, scarves, bags not only make the whole match more eye-catching, but also Can be used as a prop when taking pictures.

Punch a super dream hot spring, you can take a hot spring with the swan! The eastern traffic of Hokkaido is extremely inconvenient, but for this super beautiful hot spring that can be soaked with swan, we first take JR and then transfer to the bus, then chartered to go, but it is not a trip, Akan Lake is really beautiful! This hot spring is called Gudan Hot Spring. It is located on the shore of Qushui Road in Hokkaido and can only be driven by car or chartered. The spa is not big, it is open-air, and it is free of charge! This hot spring is forbidden to bare bubbles, so be sure to bring a swimsuit. There are two small houses next to the hot springs that can change clothes, divided into men and women, and there are public toilets in the parking lot not far away. We arrived at around 9 in the morning, and there was no one at all. There will be a group of swans playing outside the hot springs, and its a dream to take pictures. Recommendation: Before 10 o'clock in the morning and one hour before sunset, it is better to go to the light. Equipment: Swimwear, towels (all of which must be provided) Traffic: Sit JR to Kushiro, on the left side of the station No. 15 and other buses, there are not many flights, to be advanced Buy tickets at the station and go to the hotel on Lake Akan, 2,700 yen per person. We booked a chartered one-day tour online, and the return route was from Akan-Lake Road. In the peak season, the chartered car was 3,800 RMB. The result was a small tourist car (a dozen small buses).

A trip to the road, from Asahikawa in Hokkaido, to the remote town of Tondo in the east of the road, there is a class of coastal trains with a special romantic name, called the water object, the blue and white body is covered with flowers and glaciers, walking along the coast, all the way The glacier snow scene is beautiful. When you arrive at a small station called Binxiao Qingshui, you will stay for 20 minutes for tourists to get off the camera. In the evening, Blizzard will arrive, and the warm-hearted flight attendants will remind you to go back to the hotel. Be careful.

The soup curry restaurant near Sapporo Odori Park - SOUL STORE, the facade is very similar to a coffee shop, the art is small and fresh. The recommended dish is chicken and vegetable soup curry. The curry at the bottom of the soup can choose the degree of spicyness and richness. The vegetables are grown locally in Hokkaido, especially the eggplant tastes good. Each soup curry is served with a staple rice, and you can order a side dish, such as tofu, ground beef, etc., the clerk will put it into the soup together.

The opening of the New Year's Day tour in the snowy world of Hokkaido, Japan, must be very romantic. Stepping on the soft snow, making a creaking sound, the sensory enjoyment brought to the body is really wonderful. When the night of Hakodate, the world's three night scenes, falls, overlooking the millions of night scenes, the two coastlines and the lights under the mountains form the perfect night. Don't miss the Hokkaido Hot Springs in Winter, the hot spring resort near Sapporo is in the Hell Valley. The Noboribetsu Onsen has as many as 9 types of hot springs. It is called the hot spring museum in Hokkaido, when the snow is floating in the winter. Soak in the warm springs and enjoy the freshness and romance that nature has to offer.

Camera settings snow day is of course a clean cool tone better, it is recommended to turn the camera color temperature down. More snowflakes are needed to enter the mirror, and the shutter speed is faster, preferably greater than 1/500 second. Construction In order to make a group of photos look less monotonous, usually we have to shoot three parts of the whole body, half body, and close-up, which are indispensable. The close-up can even take only a part of the facial features, such as the eyes. Or mouth. Use the snow pile to make the foreground, focus on the characters, the foreground is automatically blurred, it looks more dreamy. The feeling of wanting snowfall is more obvious. You can choose a darker background when shooting, such as a house with bright walls. Cynamic use of night lights, such as street lights, lights and other outdoor lighting can not only produce a bright snow contrast effect, but also create a sense of cinema. POSE reference If there is a lot of snow, lying on the ground will be very beautiful! Transparent umbrella will make the picture more story-like. An umbrella can have multiple poses, such as holding an umbrella, opening an umbrella, and taking a close-up of the face through an umbrella. Walk, its nice to walk freely in the snow. Pick up a snow sprinkle to the lens or kick the snow to the lens. The snow particles flying in the sky are not too good to look at, and its time to test the speed of the photographer! The same woman in the movie is looking up, and the photographer is shooting from a low angle. Take your hands on the falling snow side face to look into the distance Take some snow on the nose. sitting in the snow pile
