    Hokkaido Notsuke-gun Betsukaicho Notsuke
    This 26 kilometer-long peninsula is Japan's longest sand spit (a long landform that protrudes out into the ocean). Visitors to its untouched natural environment can see plants such as todowara and narawara across the entire peninsula. The sight of traditional Utasebune Hokkai shrimp fishing sailboats floating in Notsuke Bay also has a whimsical beauty.

Hokkaido Areas

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
