🏞 Location: Daisetsuzan National Park (大雪山国立公園 / Daisetsuzan National Park) 🛑 Address: Sounkyo Gorge, Kamikawa-cho, Kamikawa-gun, Hokkaido 🚄 Transportation: From 'Kamikawa' Station on the JR Shimokitamon Line, take the northbound 'Sounkyo-Kamikawa Line' bus for 30 minutes to the final stop 'Sounkyo Gorge' This place is one of the first to receive snowfall. During autumn, the view of the changing leaves is incredibly beautiful. In summer, there are many activities to enjoy, such as walking along various nature trails. The stunning nature here has earned the park the nicknames 'The Roof of Hokkaido' and 'God's Playground.' ♨️🌬 In February, we went to see the ice sculptures. The atmosphere was great and beautiful, but it was extremely cold. The wind was so strong that it was hard to move. If you plan to visit, make sure to dress warmly.

The Sapporo Snow Festival is a major winter event in Sapporo. There are three sites for the festival, each with its own unique atmosphere, including snow and ice sculptures and giant slides. Odori Park Located in Odori Park in the center of Sapporo, here you will find a fascinating world of snow and ice stretching across approximately 1.5 kilometers. You can enjoy a wealth of attractions such as the amazing huge snow sculptures, and much more! I went Hokkaido in Feb this year and this trip was amazing ! Felt in love with Hokkaido, esp Niseko for skiing and their city area in Sapporo ! Check this place out if u’ve got a chance and I will definitely travel to Hokkaido again ! ❤️

The Asahidake Cable Car Station, the highest peak in Hokkaido, is located in the Asahidake Hot Springs area. Next to the cable car station is a Daisetsuzan National Park visitor center to protect the environment in the Daisetsuzan area. The national park has set up many nature trails near the hot spring area. There is a simple and easy trail along the cable car station. If the cable car has not arrived, you may wish to walk along the trail to learn about the plateau wetland ecology of the national park and enjoy a forest bath. #Hokkaido #Overseas Travel #travel #Japan #Daisetsuyama

A restaurant in Shintoku-cho, Hokkaido. A restaurant in the middle of a mountain? A field? Huh? Is there a restaurant in a place like this? It's a restaurant that you can't just pass by and visit.

⛷️ For adults who love skiing and are traveling with kids, there's no easier option than Club Med. Simply entrust your kids to the childcare services and enjoy carefree skiing! 😊 With free ski lessons 🏂🏻, exclusive ski lounges 🎿, five meals a day 🍣, post-ski hot springs ♨️, and a packed schedule of Club Med entertainment activities, it's both a ski trip and a vacation. Adults can relax while kids burn off their energy 🔋. Today marks the official opening of early bird bookings for the 2026 season at Hokkaido's four ski resorts. As many know, accommodation prices during the ski season in Hokkaido can be high and hard to secure 🥲. Booking a year in advance is the most cost-effective option, especially for those planning to ski during Christmas, New Year, or Spring Festival holidays. Early bookings can save you up to 35% compared to peak season prices‼️ Club Med has four ski resorts in Hokkaido: ⭐ Hoshino Tomamu: The largest of the four resorts, offering the most ski trails and a wide variety of activities beyond skiing. ⭐ Kiroro: Known as the "Powder Snow God" of Hokkaido ❄️, it boasts the highest snowfall in the region, allowing skiing for up to 160 days, even into spring. While the snow quality is excellent, additional facilities are limited, making Kiroro ideal for those focused solely on skiing. ⭐ Grand: Suitable for all ages, featuring more rooms and natural hot springs. ⭐ Peak: Exclusively for guests aged 12 and above. Located close to Grand, both resorts offer ski-in/ski-out accommodations. ⭐ Sahoro: Although the furthest away and with fewer ski trails, it has significant advantages. The resort is nestled in the mountains of Hokkaido, surrounded by national park-level scenic forests ⛰️, offering a private and tranquil setting away from crowds. With fewer visitors, you can ski from morning till evening, almost like having the slopes to yourself. Its 22 trails cater to all skill levels ❄️, and separate ski areas for adults and kids ensure a safe and family-friendly experience 👨👩👦. Sahoro also boasts a unique advantage: a 70% sunny day rate throughout the ski season 🌞. Apart from Sahoro, the other three resorts are all roughly equidistant from New Chitose Airport.

#cityplaybook #localguides Welcome to Daisetsuzan National Park — Japan’s largest national park and one of its wildest. Located in central Hokkaido, this vast alpine wilderness is home to volcanic peaks, pristine forests, hot springs, and some of the most breathtaking hiking trails in the country. Nicknamed “the roof of Hokkaido,” Daisetsuzan features towering mountains like Mount Asahi (Asahidake) and Mount Tokachi, drawing climbers and nature lovers year-round. In summer, vibrant alpine flowers paint the hillsides, while autumn brings a dazzling display of red and gold foliage — often the earliest fall colors in Japan. Keep your eyes open for rare wildlife like Hokkaido deer, foxes, and even brown bears (observe from a distance!). After a long trek, unwind in one of the many natural onsen resorts, such as Sounkyo or Asahidake Onsen. Daisetsuzan is more than just a scenic escape — it’s a chance to truly disconnect and immerse yourself in raw, untamed nature. 🚆 Accessible via train and bus from Asahikawa, with well-marked trails and mountain lodges for overnight stays. #DaisetsuzanNationalPark #HokkaidoAdventure #CityPlaybook #JapanHiking #WildJapan #Asahidake #Sounkyo #JapanNature #AlpineJapan #TravelHokkaido

At first, I thought it was worth the long journey to take an icebreaker. We finally embarked on the Arctic ice trip with some doubts. Fortunately, we came to Eastern Hokkaido. Since there is no direct flight from Eastern Hokkaido to Hong Kong, we took a red-eye flight to Kansai Airport and then transferred to Memanbetsu Airport. The Daisetsuzan Mountains seen on the plane were very spectacular, which made us very tired and excited. After getting off the plane at Memanbetsu Airport and picking up the car, it took 5-10 minutes to drive to the first attraction: Melhen Hill. Just park the car on the side of the road and you can see a row of larch trees planted on the hill. It is famous for Kurosawa Akira's movie "Dream". It has different scenery throughout the year, and you can feel the tranquility of the snow in winter. On the way to Abashiri, I passed by a popular Gelato shop - Gelateria Rimo 📍Address: 418 Yobito, Abashiri, Hokkaido 099-2421Japan 🕰️Business hours: 1100-1700 (Wed off) The gelato is dense and solid, with a variety of flavors to choose from. If you drive by, you might as well try it. Abashiri Prison Museum is a must-visit when you come to Eastern Hokkaido 📍Address: 1-1 Yobito, Abashiri, Hokkaido 099-2421Japan 🕰️Business hours: 0900-1700 The Abashiri Prison Museum is a well-preserved outdoor history museum that displays Japan's most representative prison culture and prison architecture from the Meiji period. The most distinctive exhibition area in the museum is the "Five-wing Radial Cells". The design of this prison building is similar to the Western "Panopticon", with five corridors radiating from the central monitoring tower to facilitate managers to monitor the movements of prisoners. When you enter the prison, you can see wax figures that reproduce the lives of prisoners at that time, including scenes of labor, dining, sleeping, etc., which makes people understand the prison system of that era more intuitively. At that time, prisoners were forced to build the Hokkaido Road. The extremely harsh environment and high mortality rate made people feel awe and sympathy for that period of history. The museum also exhibits the tools, prison uniforms, and the development history of Abashiri Prison at that time. The content is quite rich, and it can deeply understand the history of the development of Hokkaido. It is definitely one of the most representative attractions in the Abashiri area. Then we went to the Okhotsk Drift Ice Museum 📍Address: 244-3 Tentozan, Abashiri, Hokkaido 093-0044 Japan 🕰️Business hours: 0830-1800 The Okhotsk Drift Ice Museum is an exhibition hall with the theme of drift ice and polar ecology, allowing visitors to experience the charm of drift ice up close. The drift ice experience room in the museum is maintained at minus 15°C all year round. Visitors can try the "frozen towel experiment" of shaking a wet towel to create an instant freeze, which is very interesting. The ecological environment of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk is also introduced in the venue, which makes people marvel at the vitality of polar creatures. The observation deck on the top floor can overlook the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, and the view is excellent when the weather is good. Overall, this is a museum worth visiting, especially for tourists who want to learn more about the winter wonders of Eastern Hokkaido. The highlight of the second day-Abashiri drift ice sightseeing icebreaker Aurora Northern Hokkaido (the northernmost tip of Hokkaido) is close to the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, and the drift ice phenomenon is very obvious. The drift ice in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk mainly comes from the ice near the Amur River (Heilongjiang River) in Russia, and then flows south with the ocean current to the eastern coast of Hokkaido. Every winter, the sea surface in the northern region of Hokkaido is covered with drift ice, forming a unique winter landscape. Drift ice is a natural phenomenon, affected by weather and ocean currents, so the specific conditions of drift ice may vary. It usually appears between January and March each year. The best season for ice viewing is from January to March, when the drift ice is densest and easiest to see. We can see and experience the large and small drift ice drifting down from the sea by nature in the severe winter of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. We are very grateful. In the silver world in front of us, we take an hour-long icebreaker voyage, while breaking the drift ice covering the entire sea surface, and the drift ice crusher slowly moves forward. The vast drift ice field presented in front of us and the vibration and shaking caused by breaking the drift ice are all the presence that cannot be experienced by ice skating sightseeing on land, which can allow you to experience the white beauty of the north country more deeply. Thank you for catching up with the tail of the drift ice. The ice conditions and weather are good. Sometimes you can't take the icebreaker due to the climate. There were some other things to do, but due to the situation of drift ice in Shiretoko, the drift ice walking experience originally planned for tomorrow was changed to today, so we went straight to Shiretoko! GOGOGO! Walking on the drift ice in Utoro wearing a waterproof cold weather jacket was very fun and exciting❤️ It is definitely worth the experience😎😎 #Doto Tourism #Abashiri Trip #Shiretoko #Doto Drift Ice

#cherryblossom25 Among Japan’s many cherry blossom spots, Hokkaido stands out with its unique charm. Whether it’s the sacred calm of Hokkaido Shrine in Sapporo or the star-shaped elegance of Goryokaku Park in Hakodate, the experience blends nature, history, and tranquility. If you’re seeking a slower, soul-soothing hanami experience, Hokkaido is truly a hidden gem worth exploring.

#cherryblossom25 Viewing cherry blossoms in Hokkaido is an experience defined by serenity and purity, feeling unique and special. Unlike the bustling sakura spots of Honshu, Hokkaido’s later bloom and quieter atmosphere offer a peaceful, almost sacred encounter with spring. Surrounded by nature, you feel not just the arrival of spring and cherry blossoms—but a gentle reminder to slow down and appreciate the quiet beauty of life.

#0yentravel Shintoku Station is a JR Hokkaido station located inland of Hokkaido, and is a key transportation hub where all express trains stop. Inside the station, there is a Midori no Madoguchi (Green Window), a soba restaurant, and a shop selling local products, so you can enjoy the time you spend waiting for the train. The area around the station has a calm atmosphere, and it is easily accessible from other areas in Hokkaido, making it convenient for stopping by during your trip. However, I felt a little sad that the Furano-Shintoku section of the Nemuro Main Line will be officially abolished in the spring of 2024, and some of the rail access will be lost. Before the abolition, buses were used as a replacement, so I was not able to see the trains actually running, but when I stood at the station, I felt the dignity of the old main line. It was impressive to see Shintoku Station still functioning as a gateway to the region while looking at the history of the railway.

#0yentravel The Nemuro Main Line runs from Takikawa Station in central Hokkaido to Nemuro Station, the easternmost station in Japan. However, due to damage caused by a typhoon in 2023, the Furano-Shintoku section, including Higashi-Kagoshi-Shintoku, which had been suspended, was abolished and the line was divided into two. Limited express trains run between Shintoku and Kushiro and there are a certain number of passengers, but the line is still suffering from large losses and is in financial difficulty. However, the line is an attractive route with magnificent views of the Tokachi Plain, the Pacific Ocean, and marshes. There are also express buses, but if you are visiting eastern Hokkaido, I would recommend using the Nemuro Main Line.

I went to the Shin Soba Festival in Shintoku Town, Hokkaido!! Shintoku Town is famous for soba👍️ When I arrived at the venue, there were a lot of people💦 At the popular soba restaurant, people had to line up for about an hour. I ate Yuriten soba at "Soba no Hiroshi", and it was delicious with a rich aroma and just the right amount of firmness✨ [Name] Shintoku Shin Soba Festival [Location] 3-jo Minami 5, Shintoku-cho, Kamikawa-gun, Hokkaido 081-0013 [Date] 2024.9.29 #0 Yen Travel Autumn #Hokkaido Trip #Shintoku Festival #Domestic Travel
