About Hokkaido: Japan's Frontier
Hokkaido, by far Japan’s largest prefecture, can be hard to sum up simply. The food, nature, and history in Hokkaido offers something very different than what most may think of when they visualize Japan. If one were to sum up the best of Hokkaido, the list would certainly include its abundance of beautiful creatures, the environment, food, and the attraction of its cities.
Known as Japan’s “frontier,” Hokkaido was wasn’t fully explored and inhabited until the 19th century, and to this day retains vast stretches of raw wilderness, presenting fantastic vistas and adventurous opportunities. Some places where you can experience the wilderness of Hokkaido include the snowy slopes of Niseko, where you can enjoy skiing, and the many national parks such as Akan National Park, Daisetsuzan National Park, and Shiretoko National Park
