In the spring and autumn, this area is a stopping point for migrating birds. Depending on the season, one can see around 300 varieties of the over 500 varieties of wild birds known to live in Japan.

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.
