Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost region and prefecture, stands apart with its vast, open landscapes and cooler climate. Unlike Japan’s other regions defined by their compactness and dense population, Hokkaido offers expansive natural environments, including national parks, volcanic plateaus, and hot springs.
The region is renowned for its distinct seasons: vibrant summers with fields of wildflowers, vividly colorful autumns, snowy winters ideal for skiing and snowboarding, and mild springs that bring cherry blossoms. Hokkaido’s agricultural prowess is notable, supplying Japan with a significant portion of its dairy products and fresh produce.
