Four Natural Areas of Hokkaido｜Marumaru Hokkaido

Nowadays, “slow and enjoyable travel” is popular in Hokkaido. Traveling by personal arrangement is on the rise, and a “slow trip” can be enjoyed by deeply appreciating the area’s nature, experiences, history, culture, town walking, and gourmet food. The trip is enlivened by interaction and conversation with local people. Hokkaido can be enjoyed many times: in winter when it is covered with snow, in spring and early summer when flowers bloom all at once, and in autumn when the leaves change color.
