2018 北海道雪祭 Hokkaido Snow Festival 2018 Preview

Hokkaido Snow Festival 2018 Preview

話說我們自從八年前和幾位友人首次到東京賞櫻后,
便深深地愛上了這個城市和國家,
自那次起,我們幾乎每年都會到訪日本一次;
看過了春櫻,走過了夏天的薰衣草園,也賞過了紅葉。
至於白皚皚的冬季之旅,卻一直遲遲未能成行,
無他,只因我們倆都不愛在冬天時去玩,
除了要帶許多厚重的衣服,日照短能活動的時間較少之外,
冬天的交通狀況也比較多,火車飛機延誤是常見的事,
馬少在德國讀書和我在荷蘭工作時便常遇上,
所以我們旅遊一般都會避開冬季。

不過想看看冬天的日本這念頭不時浮現,
想了幾年,終於在今年二月初去了一趟北海道和東京。
每逢到了這段期間,北海道的眾城市都有各自的雪祭活動,非常熱鬧,
時段雖然稍有不同,不過也相差不遠。

我們這次的北海道之行一共是八天七夜,

札幌(兩夜)- 旭川(兩夜)- 網走(一夜)- 釧路 (一夜)- 札幌 (一夜)

先是在札幌賞冰雕,然後坐火車到旭川吃拉麵找企鵝玩,
接著去網走乘船看浮冰,再到釧路去觀丹頂鶴,
最後回到札幌,并從札幌那坐火車到小樽一日遊。
穿上冬裝的北海道,和之前夏天到訪時截然不同,
漫天的風雪,展現出另一番狂野的美。

每次日本之旅的最後一站一定是東京,這次也不例外,
不過這趟在東京只有短短的三天兩夜,
所以沒安排什麼行程,也沒離開過新宿,
就酒店在附近喝喝咖啡,逛逛商場,
再去拜訪幾家我們喜歡的拉麵館和餐館,
當然,還有每次到訪東京都一定要去走走的新宿御園!

    我是一定不能去冬季旅游的人因为我是怕冷怕到要死的 >_<
    如果在冰天雪地的地方,我应该会像只臃肿的粽子在街上寸步难行吧 LOL

      哈哈哈,其實如果不刮大風或遇上大風雪,其實還好啦,可以去看看的,不一樣的感覺呢。

    Beautiful. Cannot wait for the full stories 🙂 Agreed, I try to avoid winter travel due to the logistic constraints but again Japan is the country that I keep visiting during winter. Because Japanese is so good in keeping the indoor warm, especially the train 🙂

      I have say Japanese doing very good job in that, and their logistic as well.
      We would like to revisit some these places during spring or summer, especially Kushiro, there are other spots to view red crown crane and want to visit the mash land as well, hehehe.

        I have yet to visit Hokkaido 🙂 Just like you, I always end the tour in Tokyo for all the amazing foods. Can consider tohuku for winter too . Really beautiful and have amazing foods – beef tongue and 米泽牛

      2. CK says:

        We just love Tokyo, we can easily spend a day in Shinjuku vising cafe, restaurant and in a park.
        Not sure when can we revisit Japan again, hopefully soon, hehehe.
