Spring in Hokkaido

After the long cold winter, finally spring has come to Hokkaido, the northen island in Japan.
While it is not the best season to travel around in Japan in June due to the rainy season, Hokkaido is the only place, which does not have a rainy season. The late May and June is the best season to visit Hokkaido.

In Furano and Biei at the center of Hokkaido, they call the places "the navel of Hokkaido", after the freezing season, plants and animals show up abruptly. They seem to enjoy the visit of spring. The contrast between the green land and white snow still left on the mountain is very beautiful. Feel a breath of spring by walking or cycling around there.

One thing you have to be careful: the sunshine in this season is pretty strong. So, put on sun screen before going out!
