Thank you taphian! Hokkaido certainly is stunningly beautiful. Hiring a car was a great choice – it meant we could see so much more in our few days there. Stay tuned for a few more Hokkaido posts soon!
My son has lived there for a year and he likes to look at your photos. We wait for the new Hokkaido posts. Have a nice day, regards Mitza
