Summer Time in Hokkaido


Hokkaido is known for being the coldest place in Japan. What people forget is that it's as beautiful and exciting in the summer time.  Recently with the global warming, more people prefer to go Hokkaido because you can enjoy little cooler weather here in Hokkaido. 

In Otaru city, there is a cable car up to the mountain where you can see the beautiful city from up above. It is quite a view. Mountains, oceans and the city all below you. 
Otaru is known for being the port and thus around the river area there lots of souvenirs shops that light up very beautifully at night time. 

 

Showa Shinzan is a mountain that appeared naturally from the plates colliding. This area just used to be the forest but with years go by, the the mountain had formed. Now, it is a famous tourist place.  I believe you can hike around the area but I did not have energy to do so while I was there. 




At the Show Shinzan, you can even visit Bear Farm, which is pretty much like a zoo only dedicated to bears. At this farm, you can buy food that you give to bear by throwing into the caged area. I was surprised to see that bears gestures or raise their hands up and ask for the snacks when people walk by.
