Hokkaido travel guide free travel

1. The land in Hokkaido is much wider than that in Tokyo or Osaka! When planning your trip, you should reserve more time. Hokkaido is the northernmost island in Japan, accounting for 22% of Japan's total land area, 83,450 square meters, which is larger than expected, and it is the well-deserved first among all prefectures and counties in Japan. Iwate Prefecture (about15000m2), the second place in Northeast China, only accounts for 4% of Japan's total area, so the vast land of Hokkaido is more than five times that of the second place, 37 times that of Tokyo and 44 times that of Osaka Prefecture. Sapporo, the entrance of Hokkaido, is located on the west side of Hokkaido, called Daoyang, about 50km away from new chitose airport. It takes a lot of time to move between cities, so you should reserve more time to move when planning your trip. The distance and driving time from Sapporo to other places are as follows: Sapporo Otaru takes about 40 ㎞/about 45 minutes, Sapporo Furano takes about 1 15 ㎞/about 2 hours, and Sapporo Asakawa takes about140 ㎞/about. There are only a few flights, and express trams and intercity buses need to be booked in advance. 2. Almost the same latitude as Toronto and new york! You need to put on your coat in the morning and evening of summer. Hokkaido is located at 4 1 ~ 45 north latitude. In Europe, it is equivalent to south-central France to Spain, in Italy to north-central, and in the United States, it is equivalent to new york and Toronto. Although even if the latitude is the same, the climate will be different due to the influence of ocean currents, but * * * are all cold areas. The best sightseeing period in Sapporo is from July to August in summer. The average temperature in July is 20.5℃, and the average temperature in August is 22.3℃. The climate is mild and pleasant.

Be sure to investigate the temperature and get ready for clothes before you leave. 3. The metropolis of Hokkaido is a grid street distribution! Don't worry about going to Sapporo, the oldest city in Hokkaido for the first time. It was conceived and started to be built during the Meiji period in Japan from 65438 to 0869. Sapporo, which was originally a wilderness, has now been built into a big city with reference to the grid street planning in Kyoto. At present, the south 1 Tonghe Chuangshengchuan is divided into three areas: east, west and north, with government agencies in the north, residential and commercial land in the south, factories in the east and Datong Park as the fire line between the north and the south. Therefore, the roads in Sapporo are distributed in a grid, which is very understandable. The address, such as "South 3 West 4 Dingmu", has the southeast, northwest and serial number, so it is easy to find the right direction. Big cities such as Asahikawa and Daihiro are also the same lattice streets, so even new visitors can quickly grasp the direction of the city. 4. Seicomart, a local convenience store in Hokkaido, can be seen everywhere. Although there are 7- 1 1, Lawson and other convenience stores in Hokkaido, the local convenience store "Seicomart" is the most common and has the largest number of stores. Seico mart has about 1 190 stores, and you can see Seicomart from the urban area to the outlying islands. The signboard has an orange background, white Seicomart characters and a fairy bird painted on the inside of O. Convenience stores sell drinks, food, wine, books, stationery and other necessities, but what is special about "Seicomart" is that it also provides its own brand of milk, bread, soft drinks, ice cream, red wine and so on. And there are many kinds of home-cooked dishes in small packages, which are very suitable for you to eat when you are a little hungry. Some shops have kitchens and sell fried pork chops and rice balls, and many shops have seats for eating. In addition, products such as instant noodles and seasonings limited by Hokkaido have also attracted many tourists to buy gifts here. Although the business hours of each store are different, many stores are open 24 hours a day. There is a long queue at the convenience store!

Hokkaido is vast and sparsely populated, so local specialties and specialties are different. Coastal cities such as Hakodate, Otaru, Kushiro, Netwalk and Zhichuang mainly serve seafood dishes. However, even if they are both coastal areas, the seafood that can be caught in the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Okhotsk is different. Even if they are all on the sea of Okhotsk, there are different kinds of seafood in different places. For example, the specialty of Hakodate is squid, the small bottle is Pipi shrimp and sea urchin, the road is saury, and the net walk and fishing lamp road in Zhichuang Peninsula is salmon. However, they are all inland, but the dairy industry in Shi Sheng is prosperous, and dairy products such as cheese and yogurt are local specialties. At the same time, there are edible cattle and brand beef named after the place names of various regions. The famous ones are Mei Ying Niu, Fu Liangye He Niu, Zonggu Niu, Bai Lao Niu and Yakumo Niu.
