Hokkaido, the northernmost island of the Japanese archipelago, is known for its vast expanses of farmland and sumptuous local foods and produce, making Hokkaido food famous around Japan. It is said that the best way to experience a culture is through its food, and boy, does Hokkaido have a lot of it!

The northernmost region of Japan, Hokkaido is a popular vacation spot with national parks, volcanic lakes, natural hot springs, and hiking trails.

Hokkaido is a top destination for avid skiers and snowboarders. The whole prefecture transforms into a beautiful and magical winter wonderland every year.

The sudden surge in international interest in Japanese whiskey may come as a surprise, but it’s the result of many years of hard work and craftsmanship.

Another year is about to end, and we know that it is the season for cozy family gatherings, warm clothes, and heart-warming food – for sure! Nabe, or hotpot, is definitely a must-try dish that is undoubtedly delicious yet easy to make at home for a cold evening.

Even in Japan, a country spoiled with close access to the ocean, Hokkaido seafood is considered the premium.
