    “Ken and Marry Tree” shot to fame after being used as a backdrop in a Nissan Skyline TV commercial (Ken and Marry were the stage names of the actors who appeared in the commercial). This soaring poplar tree set amidst rolling hills is a magnificent sight.

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.
