The vast northern country, touring Hokkaido
Flight routes to Japan are gradually resuming, and finally, there's news from Hokkaido. There are direct flights from both Beijing and Shanghai, and I'm not sure whether to go for the flowers or wait to admire the autumn leaves, or perhaps wait for a winter feast.
🛬 Hokkaido is truly a dreamland, with its vast skies and lands, where one can quietly feel the presence of nature and oneself. At the same time, it is accompanied by countless beautiful sceneries, endless delicacies, and hot springs that heal the body and mind.
⛺ If you haven't been to Hokkaido yet, spending 5-7 days traveling from Chitose Airport to Sapporo, Otaru, Noboribetsu, and Furano is definitely worth it. The night view from Mt. Moiwa in Sapporo, the romantic canal and Music Box Museum in Otaru, the hot springs in Noboribetsu, the summer flower sea or the vast winter snowscape in Furano, all await you.
👉 The entry-level transportation tickets 'JR PASS Sapporo-Noboribetsu 4-Day Tour Ticket' and 'JR PASS Sapporo-Furano 4-Day Tour Ticket' can be exchanged upon arrival in Hokkaido and allow unlimited rides within the applicable JR area (no reserved seating) during the validity period.
⛺ If you have already been to Hokkaido, consider going deeper and further, even 'wandering' from Tokyo all the way to Hakodate, to Muroran, to Asahikawa, to Akan, to Hiroo. You can see the Earth Cape at sea level, the outdoor ice and snow hot springs at Lake Akan in winter, the Fox Village, and take a train from Station Happiness to Station Patriotism, which is also romantic.
👉 The cost-effective 'JR PASS Hokkaido Rail Pass' is the perfect choice, allowing you to travel around Hokkaido by JR train, with tickets and reserved seats available through designated exchange machines or in person.
👉 If you want to travel north from Tokyo to Hokkaido, the 'JR PASS East Japan·Hokkaido Rail Pass' crosses the Tohoku region of Japan, and you can take the Shinkansen through the 'Seikan Tunnel' to view the 'Hakodate Night View', which is considered a world-class sight. At the same time, the Sapporo night view is also competitive, and the Mt. Moiwa night view has also been a popular choice in recent years!
🍤 Gourmet: You must not miss the Hokkaido crab, with its diameter larger than your head and its exquisite taste, and the generous and reasonably priced sea urchins at the seafood market are sweet and refreshing. The rich milk, the creamy ice cream, and the summer melons of Yubari are all tempting to the taste buds.
🧡【tips】:
· Don't think that Hokkaido only has natural beauty, aquariums, zoos, bear farms, etc., are also not to be missed~
· The newly popular Sapporo 'Big Buddha Head' is a must-visit for photos 🧡
· Lastly, don't forget about the themed trains either 🧡
Otaru Music Box Hall is a famous tourist destination in Otaru and is a shop where you can touch and buy music boxes yourself! If you visit Otaru, be sure to stop by~
If you get off at Minami Otaru Station, you can arrive in 5 minutes. And it is better to spend a lot of time in the music box hall. Beautiful orgol music is good to appreciate and there are many things to see, and it takes a lot of time to find the song I want when considering purchasing. It's a great place to go.
Every piece of music box is cute ❤️ Very worth buying back ❤️❄️🌨⛄️
Eight-tone box is Xiaoyun's business card for shopping. This eight-tone box hall has a very long history and has been in its early 100 years. At present, it is the largest shop in Xiaoju, which exhibits more than 3000 octave boxes. The exterior is a retro arch skylight, the exterior is a red tile wall, it looks more beautiful in winter, and the interior is a large shopping place, which can be purchased as a specialty. This eight-tone box hall is not in the city centre, located in the southern part of Xiaoju City. Get off by JR tram in Minami Otaru and walk for about 5 minutes towards the instruction. It reminds you that the door closes at 6 p.m. on weekdays and at 7 p.m. on special holidays. If you want to walk around in the evening, you will lose your time. The museum is generous and allows free photography, which is not the same as the North One Whistle Hall. There are various beautiful octave boxes on display. They are generally retro-classical. They have many European-style feelings, such as the styles of small merry-go-round horses, castles, fairy tale characters, and many kinds of materials. Shop area is really similar to Xiaoyun No. 1, if the time is limited, just visit this one is enough. Although the price of small music box is expensive, it is not unreasonable. Ordinary 200 RMB, the price of large music box is endless.
Xiaoyan オルゴル Tang is an quaint three-story museum. Because it stands at the crossroads of two roads, it is empty next to it, and it looks like it is alive and independent. This building has been history for more than 100 years and is also the largest eight-sound box museum in Japan. On one side of the door is a bronze steam clock, which was sailed from Canada to the sea in 1977 and is the largest steam clock in the world. It is interesting that every hour will be snoring steam, making a sound on time. In addition, every 15 minutes, there will be a crisp and sweet music sound - as if to remind the surrounding: I am the music box hall! It is the eight-ton box museum!
I like the music box here, they are displayed in the window, you can watch it at will, and many music box production is very beautiful.
High prices, many people, too strong commercial taste, do not want Hokkaido at all, want Tokyo. Still Hokkaido's rural fun
