Hokkaido Winter Travel Vlog | 11 Days Road Trip EP1 | Sapporo, Lake Tōya, Hakodate, Otaru, Asahikawa
From 23 Dec 2022 to 2 Jan 2023, we made a winter road trip in Hokkaido. It is a journey through some of Japan’s most stunning landscapes, where snowy wonderlands and serene beauty await at every turn.
