Weekly Video Sapporo: Golden Week Hokkaido

I just realized I still have some footage from our trip to Sapporo during last Golden Week, so I’ve decided to create an impressions video for this week.

Hiromi and I had an amazing time exploring the city, thanks in no small part to our friends who live there and showed us around on our first day.

During our 3-day stay, we truly enjoyed our experience in Sapporo. If you’re not familiar with the city, it’s located on the island of Hokkaido. I have to say, it felt quite different from what I expected, especially the landscapes – they reminded me more of my home country, Switzerland, with its lakes and snow-capped mountains. The abundance of skiing slopes further heightened this resemblance.

It felt like a homecoming in a different land.

The weekly video will feature, our impressions of Lake Shikotsu, Sapporo Beer Museum, Genghis Khan Grill,  Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill and Hokkaido Soup Curry.

Keep an eye out for this week’s video. It will be a simple, sit back, relax, and watch kind of experience.
