Hokkaido..A spacious island located at Japan's northern extremity with festivals throughout the seasons. A region abundant with natural beauty...
In winter there is the Sapporo Snow-matsuri Festival and Monbetsu Ice Floes-matsuri Festival. In summer there is the Furano Lavender-matsuri Festival, as well as port-matsuri festivals in every coastal town to pray for a good catch and safe fishing. Hokkaido boasts over 1,200 festivals and events all year round.
Hokkaido is also home to some of Japan's finest sakes, the most famous of the bunch being Asahikawa's Otokoyama (男山). Beer is also big in Hokkaido, the most famous brand being Sapporo Beer (naturally from Sapporo), but the many microbrews found in nearly every town are also worth sampling.

Sapporo in western Hokkaido is divided up in a grid pattern, and is the largest city on the island. Odori Avenue Park stretches from east to west in the center of the city, and is
a symbol of the city - full of art objects, fountains, lilac and acacia plants
and lots of flowerbeds. |

Asahikawa is located almost in the center of Hokkaido, and is the second largest city after Sapporo. With the magnificent Mt. Daisetsu-zan in the background, and 120 rivers flowing through the town, it is full of natural splendor. It is also the gateway for tourism to Soun-kyo Gorge and Furano. |

Furano's natural beauty is very much appreciated in all seasons throughout the year - beautiful stardust in the winter sky, charming mizubasho, Japanese skunk cabbage flowers on the roadside in spring, the inviting fragrance of lavender in summer, and the gloriously red and yellow tinted leaves in autumn. |
