What are the fun things to do in Hokkaido?

There are so many things to do in Hokkaido. Today I will tell you some travel tips about Hokkaido. You can refer to them when you go there to see if these are what you need. , but Hokkaido is really fun. Prepare APP before departure

Before departure, I will give you some tips on the necessary equipment and APP that must be downloaded in advance for free travel in Neon Country.

Students who have been to Neon know that the communication environment in this country is not as good as imagined, especially the wireless network. If you do not bring your own WiFi equipment, you need to find a place with WiFi. It is really not easy to map and send Weibo and WeChat.

In the past, Linglin always took the trouble to have wireless network equipment delivered to her home at the airport or booked in advance. Sometimes, either the express delivery was not on time, or she forgot to return it at the airport after getting off the plane. . Recently, I heard from a friend that there is a machine called "Roaming Treasure". You don't need to change the machine every time. You can use it immediately after charging money, so I rely on it to travel around the world recently.

With WiFi, which apps must be downloaded to your mobile phone to help you travel when the neon languages ??are different?

1. Transfer APP—— __JORUDAN in the case

The first picture is the Android version, and the second picture is the Apple version

If you miss a train or bus when changing to a train or bus in Hokkaido, you may not have the first one in a day. It’s the second shift. Even if there may be an interval of 3-4 hours, it is very necessary to use the APP to confirm in real time!

Of course, you can also directly use the transfer query function of GOOGLE map, but it seems It’s not as convenient as this APP.

2. Food query APP - 食べログ

The neon version of "Dianping.com", search for nearby food rankings, a must-have for foodies!

3 .Hotel·Air Ticket Discount Booking APP——_天RAKUTENTRAVEL

Book directly on Japan’s discount website. All steps can be easily implemented on your smartphone. Book air tickets + hotels in Japan. Many discounts are It is impossible to find it on domestic travel websites. It supports on-site cash payment at the hotel. If you are worried about the security of online payment, you don’t need to pay on the APP. Furano Biei

Most people choose to go to Furano Biei in the summer to see the lavender and flower fields. Rather than getting together with a large number of tourists, I prefer the quiet winter in this area.

The road to Furano is not easy to walk in winter. If you encounter heavy snow, you are more likely to encounter a traffic accident. However, the quiet and vast beauty of the Furano Biei area in winter is definitely worth the 2-hour drive to visit. of.

When the weather is good, the blue sky contrasts with the white earth. When it snows continuously, the color of the whole world is only "black and white", as pure as an ink painting. Put on your snow boots and walk with a natural adventure guide for an hour. The snow covers your knees. Every step leads to a big hole. Sometimes you meet wild deer, and sometimes you meet a little fox running for food. It turns out that it is a scene that can only be seen in "Animal World" It's no surprise here.

Spring is already here at the foot of the mountain, and there is still a lot of white snow on the top of the mountain.

In summer, I despise it as just a small stream. In winter, it can be described as spectacular.

4. B&B

There are actually no particularly recommended gourmet restaurants in Furano and Biei. Personally, I feel that staying in a B&B in Biei is the best way to experience the local food culture and lifestyle.

B&Bs, as the name suggests, are small family hotels run by individuals. According to the owner’s hobbies and understanding of food, the meals and additional services provided by each B&B are also very different. Some owners are very interested in outdoor activities. They are very enthusiastic about sports.

Soba noodles are really hard to find in other countries.

Most people don’t know that the only remaining section of the Otaru Canal was established in 1973 by the Otaru citizens. It is an important testimony left by tens of thousands of people who collectively signed a petition against the state's canal reclamation and road construction. Without the collective movement to preserve this section of the canal at that time, Otaru's bustling tourism industry and coveted romantic street scene would not exist today.

The beauty of Otaru cannot be hurriedly passed by in 2-3 hours. Rent a small villa and stay at the beach for a week, climb two mountains with a natural guide, or spend it slowly in a hot spring hotel. After two days, using my camera to record those usually inconspicuous landmarks that have appeared in various movies and novels are some of my favorite things to do in Otaru.

I struggled for a while, but decided to experience it once. Although it is an open-air mixed bathing hot spring, in order not to rush into the hot spring with other guests, I deliberately picked a time to get up at 5:30 in the morning when it was not completely bright the day before, and planned to watch the sunrise while soaking in the hot spring. In order to save time in taking off clothes, I simplified all the base layers that I originally wore underneath. It is a short walk from the hotel to the ice open-air hot spring.

It is relatively easy as long as you put on a cold-proof jacket. I endured it, but the moment in the locker room was the most difficult.

After soaking in the hot spring, I felt so comfortable and naked. Climbing out of the hot spring pool was not as painful as when I entered it.
