    This robatayaki Japanese barbecue shop is five minutes on foot from JR Hakodate Station.

There are also many other seasonal dishes such as live whelk from March to September.

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.
