This was the first stop of our 75-day trip from Hokkaido down to Okinawa. Our Hokkaido road trip itinerary covered 8D7N and we drove around 1,000 kilometres in total. The landscapes were stunning, and we discovered several family-friendly attractions and accommodation options along the way.
The Proposal in front of Mt Fuji @ Lake Kawaguski
My proposal happened right in front of Mount Fuji. York proposed at Kozantei Ubuya Ryokan which is located in Lake Kawaguchiko district. It has one of the best views of Mt Fuji as the ryokan is situated on the northern shores of the lake. He booked the most expensive penthouse in this roykan (room 501) where the balcony has the biggest private open hot spring bath (onsen) in the area with a magnificent front view of Mount Fuji!
Winter Vacation Pack List @ Hokkaido, Japan
When I went to Hokkaido in January, where it snows almost everyday in winter (average temperature in January is -12 to -4 degree Celsius), I decided to write a blog on how to pack for this crazy cold weather. For those you who don’t know, Hokkaido is Japan’s second largest island and is at the northernmost of Japan. Anywhere close to the North Pole is pretty cold in winter.
