Two weeks vacation at Hokkaido

Hello my name is kanaede. I live in Tokyo, Japan. I spent my summer vation in Hokkaido, 2019. This homepage introduces the charm of Hokkaido.

Introduction

I drove from Tokyo to Ibaraki by car and took car ferry to Tomakomai-city, Hokkaido.
Hokkaido is a large island among the islands that make up Japan. In Hokkaido, nature remains undeveloped and agriculture and fisheries are thriving.

Day 1-2

The ferry goes overnight. It was raining.

Cars are packed in.

We first stayed at a bungalow in a campsite called Tomakomai Alten. Since it was a weekday, there were no people staying at the campsite in tents.

Day 3

We left Tomakomai Alten and had lunch at an Italian restaurant called “Regalo da JFarm”. This restaurant uses vegetables from a farm run by a company called JFarm. It is listed in the Michelin Guide. We had pastas, tomato sauce was particularly delicious. I thought that tomato jam was used for the hidden taste.

We went to Mitsuishi Beach this day. Hokkaido has a lot of nature unlike other areas in Japan.


We stayed at a bungalow in Mitsuishi Campsite. This day was a weekday, so we were the only ones here.

Day 4

We spent the day relaxing in the bungalows facing the Pacific Ocean. Taking a nap is also fun. I lay down in a hammock and looked up at the sky from there, calmed down and wanted to stay here.

For dinner, we went to a sushi restaurant in a neighboring town known for horse breeding, Urakawa. It is listed in the Michelin Guide. Because it was a day when the sea was rough, fishing was not carried out, and fresh fish was limited, but it was very delicious. We had a pleasant conversation with the chef .

Day 5

I relaxed on the grass on the Pacific coast all day.

Day 6

I went for a drive to Cape Erimo, the southernmost tip of Hokkaido.

It was windy this day. It was not so hot and I felt good.

This is a shrine on the cliff.

Kelps were dried here in the sun. In this photo they seem black needle but they are several meters long.

Kelp is a soup stock used in almost all Japanese cuisine. It is exposed to sunshine, its ingredients of delicious flavor.
