Meet Hokkaido in "Love Letter", walk through the boat to see you, avoid the flow of people at the Zhujin Observatory crazy shutter, record life photos, life is to experience 😝

it is so very cold in Hokkaido, once you have taken the cable car you will reach the top mount and go for some snowy weather mountain experience

I didn't expect Xiaoyan's official online booking channel to be Trip.com Haha, it's too convenient, and it feels like buying tickets in China. Be optimistic about the performance time every day, the Penguin performance is really very good, impressive

Otaru Music Box Museum

Otaru Baton Box Hall is the oldest and largest museum and specialty store in Japan. Generally, the group tour will not come to Otaru, and the in-depth tour will come. So it is recommended to travel freely.

Asari is a seaside station on the way from Sapporo to Otaru. If you go to Otaru, you can get off the train and take a look. If it is sunny in winter, the scenery should be good! The blue sea, the beach covered with snow, and the train passing by should be a beautiful scenery.

The cable car is opened on the first day after the outage! The scenery is beautiful! Snowy or sunny days have a different style

Hokkaido's snow fields are everywhere, starting from the city, the international in the distance and the quality of the snow is good, the scenery on the top of the mountain is also particularly beautiful. The coaching course for 2 people 2.5 hour is very good value for money. I met Aya, a coach from Treasure Island, and taught very carefully, especially in the process of leading us to remind us where the action is deformed, and the experience is in place. The harvest is great. I also took beautiful photos for us. It's a worthwhile trip.

Little northern oyster whistle, oh my god, Hokkaido is too worth smoking a sky to oyster, catching up with the heavy snow, the southern children have been moved to see these glasses... I feel that the wallet can't stand it. It's really good looking, Japanese craftsmanship is really great.

Fairytale factory with clear tour routes. The ice cream has a rich milky flavor and tastes very good. Of course, the White Lover cookies are still delicious. The scenery outside the cafe is pleasant. Other snacks are also delicious. It is worth a visit.
