The whole experience feels very “Hokkaido-only.” It’s hard to recreate this vibe anywhere else.
Even if you don’t get to see the sea of clouds, the mountain scenery itself is still super soothing, so the trip doesn’t feel wasted at all.

Compared with the popular sights in central Nara, Taima-dera Temple is more low-key, but that actually gives it an even stronger old-temple atmosphere. The grounds feel very historic, especially the architectural details. If you enjoy culture, you’ll really appreciate this place.

Taking the sightseeing boat on Lake Inawashiro was really relaxing. The lake is huge, and it’s especially great when the weather is nice. The blue sky against the water makes the whole view feel so peaceful.

Coming here in winter really hits different. The snowy scenery with the shrine feels so Hokkaido.
The approach isn’t long, but the atmosphere is really nice and relaxing.
