Japonya'nın kuzey adası Hokkaido, kar festivali, büyüleyici doğası, lezzetli yemekleri ve ilginç tarihi ile öne çıkmaktadır. Özellikle bu adanın yerli halkı Ainu'ların tarihi öğrenilmeye değerdir. Hokkaido adası nüfus yoğunluğunun azlığı ve el değmemiş doğası ile doğa gezileri için ideal bir bölgedir. Bunun yanında Japonya'nın 5. büyük şehri olan Sapporo büyük bir şehirden beklenen tüm imkanlara da sahiptir. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Image Credits:<br /><br />“A Japanese samurai and Ainu in Hokkaido around 1775.
