Winter travel tips after living in Hokkaido for three years🌨️

I have been living in Hokkaido for three years. From being afraid of traveling at the beginning to now being completely trouble-free, I have compiled some winter travel tips for you💯, suitable for friends who are traveling to Hokkaido for the first time. Suggestion 1️⃣. The most essential difference between Hokkaido and Harbin is actually the snow quality and experience. Hokkaido often snows heavily but the temperature is not cold. Unlike the Northeast where the temperature is tens of degrees below zero, it is bone-chilling, especially in the snow town in winter. It is really better to take a private bath in a hot spring hotel in Hokkaido♨️... Families who are afraid of the cold and traveling with children 🧑‍🍼 recommend going to Hokkaido to see the snow. Suggestion 2️⃣. The first stop for Hokkaido travel is Sapporo. You can stay wherever you go during the itinerary. It is not recommended to stay in Sapporo all the time. It is like if you come to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai for a week, live in Shanghai, and travel between Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changnanjing and Hangzhou Ningbo every day, half of it Time is wasted commuting. Suggestion 3️⃣: If you have a tight time schedule, it is recommended to go to one area at a time in Hokkaido. Otherwise, you will be too tired to play. If there is a heavy snow and JR is severely delayed, your subsequent itinerary will be disrupted. For the first time, I went to Hokkaido: Sapporo-Otaru-Noboribetsu-Jozankei and walked around. The second time I started walking was the East Dominan area. After all, Hokkaido is so beautiful that I believe you will not only come here once. Suggestion 4️⃣: Hokkaido is too big and too scattered. It is vast and sparsely populated and the transportation is not very convenient. If you want to have a comfortable time, it is recommended to charter a car. You can visit one city attraction per day. You are not tired. You can decide at any time which attraction you want to go. If you don’t want to have a driver, We will pick you up at the designated location, so you don’t have to worry about missing public transportation. It is highly recommended for those traveling with the whole family. Recommendation 5️⃣: The business hours of Japanese stores are generally from 10 am to 8-9 pm. Don’t get up too late. It almost gets dark after 4 o’clock in Hokkaido! Moreover, there is almost no room temperature water or hot water in Hokkaido. It is best to carry a thermos cup with you so that you can drink at any time. ✅Hokkaido city introduction 👉Sapporo: 2 days of shopping and shopping at drugstores 📍Recommended check-ins: Odori Park, Sapporo Clock Tower, Shiroi Koibito Factory, Hokkaido Shrine, Mount Moiwa night view, etc. 👉Otaru: 1-day round trip from Sapporo💌 📍Recommended route: Minami-Otaru Station-Music Box Museum-Otaru Canal-Funamizaka-Triangle Market-Tengu Mountain. 👉Biei & Furano: Arrange a 1-2 day tour to enrich the itinerary 📍Reference route: Sapporo-Asahikawa Zoo-Biei Christmas Tree🎄-Shirasuda Falls-Furano Forest Elf Terrace-Sapporo. 👉Abashiri·Kushiro: Arrange a 2-day tour📍Check in to the Abashiri Icebreaker and Abashiri Prison, take an icebreaker on the Sea of ​​Okhotsk🚢, and have a majestic icebreaking trip; Kushiro is the largest fishing port in Hokkaido, a must Eat charcoal grilled seafood🦞. 👉Noboribetsu: 1 day round trip to Sapporo or stay in a hot spring for one night♨ 📍Recommended hotels: Daiichi Taki Honkan/100-year-old Yuya Takinoya/Rutei Hanayu. 👉Hakodate: 1 day round trip to Sapporo or stay in a hot spring for one night ♨ A port city, eat all you can eat seafood and check out the million-dollar night view of Mt.
