    Hokkaido Hiyamagunesashichou Nakautachou
    Located in Esashi Town, Hiyama County, Hokkaido, this atmospheric and scenic roadway was created by refurbishing the area along the old national highway. Esashi Town prospered from the 17th century through the trade of hinoki cypress and herring. Many of the historical buildings that remained from the end of the Edo period to the end of the Taisho period were preserved, reproduced, or restored. The street was completed in 2005 and opened as a tourist spot where visitors can enjoy the scenery at their leisure. Being able to take a stroll today and see this historical diversity in one place is very special.

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.
