Hokkaido is breathtaking, especially in winter. Certain trees and low-lying foliage quickly give in to the snow and strong winds and go into hiding for the entire season, but others take a different approach, standing tall in response to the Siberian gales that blow during winter on Japan’s north island. It is from these subjects that once in a lifetime photos can be taken.
Hokkaido is home to several unique photo ops such as the Blue Pond or “Biei Blue” which is immensely popular among visiting tourists and photographers. The evening is the best time to enjoy the cobalt blue water as it is illuminated by spotlight, making the pond’s complexion shimmer even more. Lake Kussharo also holds similarly magnetic blue water which sometimes are blessed with natural designs across its frozen surface called ‘Omiwatari’. Whooper swans have also been known to use the lake as part of their migratory path, so you may be able to capture immaculate landscapes and scintillating natural beauty as well.
These are only some of the dreamscapes that Hokkaido has to offer, but perhaps you are listening to a different natural calling. Contact us at Japan Dreamscapes and share what your Hokkaido Winter Tour dream looks like, and we’ll do our best to make it a reality.
