What shoes should I wear to Hokkaido in winter? Other matters should also be noted.

Hokkaido is a bit cold in winter, so you should pay attention to your clothes when you go. There are also some other strategies you need, such as how to store your ideas and facilitate communication. These are all things you will encounter during your trip.

1 shoes

Waterproof and non-slip snowshoes are the best. Of course, ordinary snowshoes are fine as long as the crampons are ready. Because I don't think I need special snow shoes after returning to China, I still choose to buy crampons. Facts have proved that my choice is correct and I have saved a sum of money. Cradle is absolutely important, because the ground in Hokkaido is really slippery in winter. I didn't wear ice claws that day when I chartered the car, and I accidentally fell. That's a big black bruise. It still hurts. I usually wear size 36 to buy M, and my husband usually wears size 40 to buy L, both of which are just right. Too big is easy to drop, too small is too tight, pay attention to your choice. It is available in Japan at a price of 1000 yen. If I bought it on a treasure, I would pay more 10 yuan.

2. Clothes and pants

Because I have been to Harbin before, I know it is hot in the north and cold outside, so I am going to wear it. Clothes, it is recommended to wear a low-necked cashmere sweater inside and a thick down jacket outside, which is appropriate. Pants, it is recommended to have thicker leggings inside (I used velvet leggings in the northeast, and it was not cold all the way, so it was rude, as long as the temperature was cool. I always admire wearing a short skirt and a pair of waterproof and windproof regular winter thick pants (in fact, my husband and I are not waterproof and windproof, haha). In fact, the JR car in Hokkaido is very hot, the bus and subway are not very hot, and the indoor temperature is not particularly high. There is no need to worry about the problem of cold and hot inside and outside.

3. hat

A thick wool hat is absolutely necessary to keep warm against wind and snow.

4. Scarf

Necessary, cashmere is the best, easy to wear and small in storage.

5. gloves

It is recommended that you really use ski gloves, especially when playing with icebreakers. The wind is biting, and ordinary gloves don't work at all.

6. Sunglasses

When the sun is shining, it is really dazzling to play in the snow and ice spots with great vision. Some people will suffer from snow blindness, so it is recommended to bring a pair. I am nearsighted. I bought a clip-on one, only ten yuan. I used it when I walked in the five lakes, walked on the ice, and watched the cranes. That's great.

7. Mask

This is necessary. My cheeks really hurt when it snows heavily. Having a mask really feels like a great blessing in life. If you are nearsighted, it is recommended to buy anti-Haqi models. I can't afford to be nearsighted. I bought it myself, but I still think it is easy to fog, so I don't recommend it to everyone.

8. Warm your baby

If you are outdoors for a long time, get this thing ready. You can take it with you or buy it in Hokkaido. You can find a drugstore anywhere.

9, sunscreen

Not this summer. In fact, the ultraviolet rays in Hokkaido are very strong in winter. We didn't bring it this time. I feel really dark. A bloody lesson. Light-fast gold bottle is very good. Everyone knows this, so I won't say much.

10, lipstick

I really want to take it. The climate in Hokkaido is very dry. If you don't wipe for a day, your husband doesn't like to wipe, and his lips often crack and bleed. Hey, this guy.

1 1, communication

There are many cases where there is no wifi in Hokkaido hotels, so I think it is very important to bring WiFi with you. If more than two people travel, individuals really recommend renting a portable WiFi machine, which is both economical and convenient. But there is a disadvantage that two people can't leave too far. Of course, if you are an individual, you can choose a mobile phone flow card. Of course, in Hokkaido, which is prone to extreme weather and accidents, it is best to open international roaming in Japan in case of emergency, whether it is a card or an airplane. This time, I used a 4G Japanese portable wif (taken back by China). 10 yuan doesn't need to charge electricity for more than ten hours a day, and the signal is excellent (except for some remote mountainous areas in Daodong, such as Wuhu). In short, there are actually many communication methods to choose from. You can compare it.

12, language

Before I came to Hokkaido, I always thought that Japanese people could communicate with each other although their English pronunciation was not good. I didn't know until I came to Hokkaido that this was definitely a minute to test my physical expression ability and the power of translation software. Many places communicate in pure Japanese, so I really can't communicate in a little English. So, dear friends, don't be stingy with your body expression. It's okay to exaggerate. Understanding is the right way. I downloaded three translation softwares, but I think the most suitable one is the translation machine, which can do a translation (although it is not very accurate, but it can basically be understood), or input related words for translation, but don't translate any words, find keywords for translation, and the translation of a word basically belongs to chickens and ducks. Another problem with this application is that it takes a long time to open. I always say sorry to the Japanese when I am in a hurry. Of course, under normal circumstances, I don't need to worry. I can't speak a word of Japanese, so I can play normally, because key places, such as hotels and tourist information centers, consult the most when traveling, and the communication here is OK. This hotel basically replies in English, and some even have Chinese, Happiness ~ Tourist Information Center, and English is OK. If not, they will take out pad for various Chinese-Japanese translations.

During the journey from 0 10 to 10 10, luggage storage has always been a headache for friends, especially those who come to Japan for the first time, who are always worried about dragging their luggage around. I want to give you a brief introduction. I will also send out the details in my travel notes.

Under normal circumstances, the luggage storage counters of most Japanese branches are self-service, so please prepare coins (100 days and 500 days), otherwise it is easy to fall into the embarrassment of not being able to deposit money.

The luggage storage price is charged according to the luggage size, generally ranging from 300, 500, 600, 700 or even 1000 yen. The bigger the luggage, the less space can be stored, so it is more appropriate to bring a suitcase within 28 inches as far as possible.

Large transportation hubs in Hokkaido, such as Sapporo, will have luggage lockers, but there will be few small places, especially Daodong. So everyone should pay attention ~

Generally, hotels can also store luggage for free, but it is generally limited to the same day, and it is generally not allowed to store luggage for a long time. I was at the hotel in Sapporo for the last 1 day two days ago, so my luggage has basically been left at this hotel. I travel light. If you go back and forth to Sapporo, you can refer to my storage method. After all, dragging luggage in the snow is also a technical and physical activity. According to the regulations of the host, some hotels are not allowed to store them at all, while others can store them for many days. This requires consulting the host in advance.
